00:00:14.700 The action that should have been taken

00:00:16.240 by every single Republican in Congress

00:00:18.500 was to abolish the SNAP program entirely.

00:00:22.420 And the fact that Republicans caved on this issue by itself

00:00:25.260 makes the shutdown an abject failure.

00:00:27.900 Those who demand respect never get respect.

00:00:31.900 And this is really Michelle's problem,

00:00:33.480 is that she's going around constantly demanding respect.

00:00:57.900 We had 10,000 Lifetime memberships available

00:01:05.040 when we launched them a couple months ago,

00:01:06.720 and now fewer than 2,000 remain.

00:01:10.080 and you will have all access for life.

00:01:12.140 If you're hoping for the Lifetime membership

00:01:13.500 to have a special holiday sale,

00:01:25.600 It's important to stay healthy,

00:01:27.080 and one of the most essential components

00:01:28.280 to your overall health is having a healthy liver.

00:01:30.500 Your liver is your body's ultimate filter.

00:01:32.860 It works overtime processing everything you consume

00:01:34.940 while juggling 500 daily functions

00:01:37.480 like energy production, digestion, and more.

00:01:39.700 But when it gets overworked, you really feel it.

00:01:42.060 That's where Dose for Your Liver comes in.

00:01:43.720 Dose is a clinically-backed supplement

00:01:45.160 that comes as a daily two-ounce shot,

00:01:47.560 helps cleanse your liver and unwanted stressors

00:01:49.280 that are slowing it down

00:01:50.800 and supports your daily liver function

00:01:52.740 so everything can run smoothly.

00:01:54.220 It also doesn't taste bitter like most supplements do,

00:01:56.920 which is a big bonus.

00:02:14.660 In the end, it was air travel, of all things,

00:02:17.220 that ended the longest government shutdown

00:02:19.540 in United States history.

00:02:20.720 That was the point of failure.

00:02:23.200 We just shut down the federal government for 43 days,

00:02:25.420 which runs a budget of around $6 trillion a year,

00:02:28.060 and nothing of value broke during that period,

00:02:31.040 nothing at all, until the flight cancellations

00:02:33.660 and delays started ramping up within the last few days.

00:02:36.760 It wasn't until the air traffic controllers

00:02:38.460 walked off the job that a single American

00:02:40.660 had any good reason to complain about the shutdown at all.

00:02:44.220 Now, as much as I'm loathe to talk about

00:02:46.480 federal government shutdowns,

00:02:48.060 they are, in every case, a waste of time

00:02:51.340 that benefits no one.

00:02:53.840 This one actually turned out to be

00:02:55.440 a pretty interesting experiment.

00:02:57.560 It was a stress test that exposed some key weaknesses

00:03:00.000 in the conservative movement,

00:03:01.740 as well as the way the federal government works.

00:03:04.520 And before the next funding bill is voted on,

00:03:06.300 which will take place at the end of January,

00:03:07.840 apparently, it's worth shoring up

00:03:10.200 some of those weaknesses as quickly as we possibly can.

00:03:12.280 At a minimum, we need to answer

00:03:14.120 some pretty basic questions

00:03:15.300 that nobody ever really seems to talk about.

00:03:18.800 And here's one that is raised

00:03:20.860 by the government shutdown

00:03:22.440 that I haven't heard discussed very much.

00:03:24.980 It's this.

00:03:25.700 Why exactly is air travel

00:03:27.980 a core function of the federal government?

00:03:30.320 Why does air travel shut down

00:03:32.040 when the government does?

00:03:34.320 More specifically,

00:03:35.720 why are air traffic controllers

00:03:37.020 paid by the federal government at all?

00:03:39.620 Since the 1940s or so,

00:03:41.180 the federal government has employed

00:03:42.560 air traffic controllers in this country.

00:03:44.020 Taxpayers have been responsible

00:03:45.920 for their salaries and benefits,

00:03:47.300 and everyone's been okay with that arrangement.

00:03:50.440 But there's no clear reason

00:03:51.800 why we're doing it this way.

00:03:54.600 And in fact, several countries

00:03:55.980 have a very different system.

00:03:56.960 For example, Canada has a nonprofit

00:03:58.660 called Nav Canada

00:04:00.220 in charge of their air traffic control system.

00:04:03.280 They generate their own revenue.

00:04:05.260 They're self-sufficient.

00:04:07.340 Is that something you realized?

00:04:09.480 I didn't.

00:04:09.980 Did you know that when it comes to aviation,

00:04:11.480 we actually have more government bloat

00:04:14.640 than Canada?

00:04:16.640 I mean, in terms of efficiency,

00:04:17.900 we're being shown up by a country

00:04:19.480 that's put the government

00:04:20.440 in charge of everything,

00:04:21.400 from healthcare to Facebook

00:04:22.800 to euthanizing people

00:04:24.900 who miss rent payments.

00:04:26.220 I mean, it's embarrassing.

00:04:28.480 One of the many benefits

00:04:29.300 of a private system

00:04:30.120 when it comes to air traffic control

00:04:31.380 is that government dysfunction

00:04:32.700 doesn't strand

00:04:34.620 tens of thousands of travelers

00:04:36.220 and shut down

00:04:37.140 the entire aviation industry.

00:04:38.300 The ability of the country

00:04:40.280 to travel using airplanes

00:04:41.840 isn't contingent

00:04:43.520 on appropriations bills

00:04:45.180 in Congress.

00:04:46.940 Additionally,

00:04:47.520 in a private system,

00:04:48.300 government bureaucracy,

00:04:49.180 in our case, the FAA,

00:04:50.460 isn't in charge

00:04:51.600 of operating the same system

00:04:52.880 that it's supposed to regulate.

00:04:54.520 If a private entity

00:04:55.700 is in charge

00:04:56.220 of air traffic control,

00:04:57.200 then the private entity

00:04:58.380 can focus on directing traffic

00:05:00.000 and upgrading their systems

00:05:00.960 and the federal government

00:05:01.660 can focus on checking their work.

00:05:03.460 They can supervise

00:05:04.260 and that, you know,

00:05:04.900 you could argue

00:05:05.340 is the ideal arrangement.

00:05:06.520 But we don't have

00:05:07.900 a privatized system

00:05:08.700 for air traffic control,

00:05:09.580 even though most major airlines

00:05:10.900 in the U.S. want one

00:05:12.460 for a very simple reason.

00:05:15.760 Air traffic control,

00:05:16.640 like many other

00:05:17.220 government-run industries,

00:05:18.460 is designed to be

00:05:20.460 as inefficient as possible.

00:05:22.240 It's essentially

00:05:22.640 a jobs program

00:05:23.540 that saps taxpayer money

00:05:24.920 while sabotaging

00:05:25.800 any potential for innovation.

00:05:27.120 And indeed,

00:05:27.660 there hasn't been innovation

00:05:29.080 in the industry

00:05:29.900 for many years.

00:05:31.560 Air traffic controllers

00:05:32.380 are still using paper strips,

00:05:34.040 which they shuffle around

00:05:35.080 by hand to track flights

00:05:36.760 in many control towers,

00:05:38.640 even though it's obviously

00:05:39.720 a less efficient

00:05:40.360 and more dangerous system.

00:05:41.700 And this system

00:05:42.100 has persisted

00:05:42.720 despite the fact

00:05:43.320 that the FAA

00:05:43.880 has been working

00:05:45.500 on a program called NextGen

00:05:47.080 to update

00:05:48.460 their air traffic control systems,

00:05:49.780 including the paper strips.

00:05:51.000 For more than 20 years,

00:05:52.560 they've been working on this.

00:05:54.620 Yes, over more than two decades,

00:05:56.340 the FAA

00:05:56.820 has supposedly been working

00:05:58.860 on a $15 billion project

00:06:00.660 to modernize

00:06:01.680 air traffic control.

00:06:02.620 And they're currently

00:06:04.300 behind schedule

00:06:05.160 and over budget

00:06:05.960 because everything

00:06:06.640 the government does

00:06:07.320 is behind schedule

00:06:08.140 and over budget.

00:06:09.060 Their plan to get rid

00:06:10.000 of the paper flight strips

00:06:10.920 has been delayed

00:06:11.480 until 2030.

00:06:13.680 They're going to scale back

00:06:14.920 the number of airports

00:06:16.080 they update

00:06:16.580 by 45%

00:06:17.740 and costs are over budget

00:06:21.060 by 20%.

00:06:22.160 A private self-funded corporation

00:06:24.600 could fix all these problems

00:06:25.920 basically overnight.

00:06:27.880 And they could probably do it

00:06:29.300 with fewer employees too.

00:06:31.380 They could update

00:06:32.080 the software

00:06:32.600 in the control towers,

00:06:33.660 take some of the workload

00:06:34.420 off the controllers

00:06:35.220 and make everybody safer.

00:06:38.160 But the unions

00:06:39.040 wouldn't like that change

00:06:39.920 for obvious reasons.

00:06:40.660 And apparently,

00:06:41.620 no one in Washington

00:06:42.380 wants to privatize

00:06:43.260 air traffic control either

00:06:44.140 because, as far as I could tell,

00:06:46.080 no politician is even

00:06:47.300 broaching the subject

00:06:48.420 at the moment.

00:06:49.560 Even though the government shutdown

00:06:50.600 just exposed

00:06:51.580 a gigantic vulnerability

00:06:52.900 in the aviation industry,

00:06:55.520 the possibility

00:06:56.440 of reforming

00:06:57.480 the industry

00:06:58.580 is not even being mentioned.

00:07:01.040 instead,

00:07:03.800 one after another,

00:07:04.680 Republican politicians

00:07:05.540 have been posting videos

00:07:06.900 celebrating

00:07:07.420 the end of the government shutdown

00:07:08.960 because SNAP benefits

00:07:10.780 are being restored.

00:07:12.360 That's what they're focusing on.

00:07:14.220 They're not talking about the fact

00:07:15.540 that other than air traffic control,

00:07:17.040 we don't appear to even need

00:07:18.400 the federal government.

00:07:19.880 Instead,

00:07:20.440 they're thrilled

00:07:21.180 that billions of dollars

00:07:22.220 will continue to flow

00:07:23.140 to the 40 million Americans

00:07:24.360 on food stamps,

00:07:25.100 even though 40 million Americans

00:07:26.820 clearly don't need

00:07:27.920 these handouts.

00:07:30.360 It's an absurdly,

00:07:31.780 comically fraudulent program

00:07:33.160 as we've discussed

00:07:33.780 several times on the show.

00:07:35.200 And yet,

00:07:35.500 to Republicans in Congress,

00:07:36.480 SNAP recipients

00:07:36.960 are worth mentioning

00:07:38.200 in the same breath

00:07:38.920 as military service members

00:07:40.700 and federal law enforcement officers.

00:07:43.240 Watch.

00:07:43.500 Hoosiers Congressman Rudy Yaakam here.

00:07:46.800 I just walked off the House floor

00:07:48.160 where I had the honor

00:07:48.880 of chairing the floor

00:07:50.100 for the vote

00:07:50.860 to reopen the federal government.

00:07:52.520 We are going to pay our troops.

00:07:54.620 We're going to once again

00:07:55.560 pay our federal law enforcement officials,

00:07:57.680 pay the air traffic controllers,

00:07:59.420 pay the TSA agents

00:08:00.580 that have been working

00:08:01.180 for the last month and a half

00:08:02.720 with no pay.

00:08:03.800 We're now going to allow people

00:08:04.920 to collect SNAP benefits

00:08:06.080 and WIC,

00:08:06.620 things that are very important

00:08:07.720 to my district

00:08:08.800 and the people that I serve.

00:08:10.400 It's an honor to serve you

00:08:11.400 and fight for you

00:08:12.320 here in Washington, D.C.

00:08:13.920 Everyone just got off the House floor

00:08:15.500 voting to reopen the government,

00:08:17.540 ending the Democratic-led shutdown,

00:08:19.480 the longest shutdown

00:08:20.300 in our country's history.

00:08:22.160 Proud, along with my fellow Republicans

00:08:23.540 and to their credit,

00:08:24.880 a handful of Democrats

00:08:26.080 to have reopened the government,

00:08:28.660 restoring funding

00:08:29.300 for critical programs

00:08:30.200 that families across the district

00:08:31.620 in our country rely on.

00:08:33.220 Most importantly,

00:08:34.360 making sure that our men

00:08:35.160 and women in uniform

00:08:35.960 and our dedicated

00:08:36.720 federal law enforcement officers

00:08:38.020 and TSA agents

00:08:39.680 and air traffic controllers

00:08:41.660 get paid again,

00:08:43.080 also restored funding

00:08:44.700 for critical programs

00:08:45.920 like SNAP,

00:08:46.700 all of that happening

00:08:47.600 just this evening

00:08:48.380 in the House of Representatives.

00:08:50.700 Yes, our brave

00:08:51.960 military service members,

00:08:53.540 law enforcement officers

00:08:54.540 and SNAP recipients.

00:08:58.980 Let's all hail their bravery

00:09:01.000 and their service

00:09:01.700 to this country.

00:09:02.720 Now, one of those things

00:09:04.300 is not like the other.

00:09:06.060 I mean, we can all agree

00:09:06.820 that law enforcement officers

00:09:07.900 and military service members

00:09:08.980 and air traffic controllers

00:09:10.820 should be paid,

00:09:12.820 even if you could argue

00:09:14.420 for air traffic controllers

00:09:15.520 that they should be paid privately.

00:09:18.600 But, you know,

00:09:19.500 they are doing something.

00:09:21.180 We need those people

00:09:22.200 to do those jobs.

00:09:23.880 SNAP recipients, though,

00:09:24.860 aren't doing anything.

00:09:26.740 And they're not serving

00:09:27.980 the country in any way at all.

00:09:29.440 They're not contributing

00:09:30.140 to society in any form.

00:09:31.920 They're just taking handouts

00:09:33.920 that they don't even need.

00:09:35.880 75% of SNAP recipients

00:09:37.160 are overweight or obese.

00:09:40.760 75%.

00:09:41.360 7-5.

00:09:43.640 Just to be clear.

00:09:45.080 If you break it down,

00:09:46.040 according to USDA data,

00:09:48.560 44% of SNAP recipients

00:09:51.340 are obese.

00:09:52.900 28% are overweight.

00:09:55.680 And only 2.5% are underweight.

00:09:58.500 So, at a minimum,

00:10:01.260 we can cut this program

00:10:02.440 by 75%

00:10:05.040 and no one

00:10:06.600 would really be affected.

00:10:09.240 I mean, really,

00:10:09.800 you could argue

00:10:10.260 that there's 2.5%

00:10:12.980 of SNAP recipients

00:10:13.780 actually need it

00:10:14.860 in that they appear

00:10:16.280 to be malnourished

00:10:18.780 to some extent.

00:10:19.460 And then when you boil it down

00:10:22.920 to like 2.5%,

00:10:24.120 then you realize that,

00:10:25.240 oh, well,

00:10:25.440 do we actually need

00:10:26.220 this massive federal program?

00:10:28.100 Or is that a small enough

00:10:29.620 number of people

00:10:30.300 that we could take care of them

00:10:31.540 as we've talked about

00:10:32.380 through charity

00:10:33.500 and churches

00:10:34.480 and food drives

00:10:35.920 and soup kitchens

00:10:36.520 and all the other things

00:10:37.160 that we already have in place?

00:10:40.060 So, you know,

00:10:41.020 but let's just say

00:10:42.160 we cut 75%.

00:10:42.980 We'd be eliminating

00:10:43.700 a massive amount of fraud

00:10:44.900 right off the bat.

00:10:45.540 And if we,

00:10:48.460 you know,

00:10:48.800 simply if we just required

00:10:50.200 SNAP recipients

00:10:50.940 to step on a scale

00:10:52.940 before we give them

00:10:54.620 their EBT card.

00:10:56.240 But really,

00:10:57.040 the scale of the fraud

00:10:57.780 is much greater than that

00:10:58.860 because pretty much

00:10:59.800 every SNAP recipient

00:11:00.560 is taking advantage

00:11:01.440 of many other welfare programs

00:11:02.780 too, including WIC,

00:11:03.920 which for many Americans

00:11:04.800 duplicates what the SNAP program does.

00:11:06.560 Actually,

00:11:06.760 there's one important difference.

00:11:08.200 WIC only offers a list

00:11:09.320 of pre-approved items

00:11:10.240 like milk and bread.

00:11:11.180 SNAP, on the other hand,

00:11:12.240 will happily pay

00:11:12.980 for your Oreo cookies

00:11:14.360 and your, you know,

00:11:15.020 two liters of Coke.

00:11:17.160 And on top of that,

00:11:17.920 grocery stores

00:11:18.420 and so-called bodegas

00:11:19.600 often defraud

00:11:20.960 the SNAP program

00:11:21.740 in plain sight.

00:11:22.440 A few years ago,

00:11:22.940 the Daily Wire's

00:11:23.460 Luke Rosiak

00:11:24.020 spent a week

00:11:24.580 standing around

00:11:25.200 in various stores

00:11:25.800 writing down

00:11:26.360 what people bought

00:11:26.980 with food stamps.

00:11:28.060 Turns out that the bodegas,

00:11:30.100 whose trustworthiness

00:11:30.940 the SNAP program

00:11:31.740 is 100% reliant on,

00:11:33.920 were openly selling

00:11:34.720 ski masks in August

00:11:36.280 and pipes

00:11:38.120 for smoking crack

00:11:39.940 and cigarettes

00:11:40.780 with EBT.

00:11:43.460 They're just criminal

00:11:45.240 one-stop shops.

00:11:46.980 And in some cases,

00:11:47.700 as Fox's Will Cain reports,

00:11:49.260 cashiers will run

00:11:49.880 EBT cards

00:11:50.620 for $100 in food

00:11:51.720 but return $50 in cash

00:11:54.440 to the customer

00:11:55.860 instead of groceries.

00:11:56.920 And then the SNAP recipient

00:11:57.760 will sell the EBT card balance

00:11:59.480 to somebody else.

00:12:00.700 And additionally,

00:12:01.180 of course,

00:12:01.480 many SNAP applications

00:12:02.540 are simply fraudulent

00:12:04.440 and include

00:12:05.920 incorrect information

00:12:06.860 about income

00:12:07.480 and household members

00:12:08.320 and so on.

00:12:10.320 For her part,

00:12:11.120 the Agriculture Secretary

00:12:12.400 just disclosed

00:12:13.240 that 5,000 dead people

00:12:15.420 are getting SNAP

00:12:16.820 and half a million people

00:12:18.500 are getting SNAP benefits

00:12:19.580 twice under the same name.

00:12:22.040 And that's just the data

00:12:22.860 they've been able to gather

00:12:23.960 from conservative states.

00:12:26.740 Left-wing states

00:12:27.320 are not turning over

00:12:28.060 the data at all

00:12:29.080 because obviously

00:12:30.060 the fraud is even worse there.

00:12:31.900 So we really have no idea

00:12:33.300 about the true scale of this.

00:12:35.780 All we know is that

00:12:36.380 it's really, really bad.

00:12:38.140 Watch.

00:12:38.520 20 plus others did not

00:12:42.360 and we're suing,

00:12:43.060 we're in a litigation right now.

00:12:44.580 But of the 29 that complied,

00:12:46.380 what we have found

00:12:47.260 is staggering.

00:12:48.960 Half a million people

00:12:50.140 getting benefits

00:12:51.200 two times

00:12:52.100 under the same name.

00:12:53.860 5,000 dead people.

00:12:56.360 80% of the able-bodied Americans,

00:12:58.860 meaning they can work.

00:13:00.120 They don't have small children at home.

00:13:01.720 They're not taking care

00:13:02.420 of an elderly parent.

00:13:03.760 They can work

00:13:04.520 and they choose not to work,

00:13:06.100 of course,

00:13:06.460 because they're getting

00:13:07.140 significant benefits

00:13:08.480 from the taxpayer.

00:13:09.880 So this light, Laura,

00:13:11.260 that has now been shined on

00:13:12.720 what is perhaps

00:13:13.520 one of the most corrupt,

00:13:15.120 dysfunctional programs

00:13:16.240 in American history

00:13:17.240 that we are working now.

00:13:19.440 Very big announcements

00:13:20.480 coming next week on this.

00:13:22.000 We are cracking down.

00:13:23.160 We now have a plan

00:13:23.920 to fix it

00:13:24.740 and we're really,

00:13:26.380 really excited

00:13:26.880 about doing that

00:13:27.600 for the American people.

00:13:29.020 So this has been going on

00:13:30.860 for many years.

00:13:32.200 I mean,

00:13:32.320 I think I covered this

00:13:33.120 on the radio.

00:13:33.680 We found one guy

00:13:34.840 in six states

00:13:35.960 who was collecting

00:13:36.960 in six different states

00:13:38.380 under the same number.

00:13:39.680 But again,

00:13:40.020 if we hadn't asked

00:13:40.900 for this data,

00:13:41.720 and by the way, Laura,

00:13:42.740 these are the red states

00:13:44.040 that turn their data over.

00:13:45.360 It is the blue states

00:13:46.780 we're still trying

00:13:47.360 to get data on.

00:13:47.980 Can you imagine

00:13:48.720 if this fraud

00:13:49.740 is happening

00:13:50.280 in the red states,

00:13:51.120 what's happening

00:13:51.580 in the blue states?

00:13:52.080 What are they hiding?

00:13:54.960 So, yeah,

00:13:56.380 again,

00:13:56.780 very important.

00:13:57.400 This is only red states

00:13:58.480 that are turning this over

00:13:59.420 and that's where

00:14:00.060 you're going to have

00:14:00.620 less fraud.

00:14:01.740 So just based on that,

00:14:02.720 half a million people

00:14:03.640 are getting benefits twice.

00:14:06.220 That's a lot of people

00:14:07.220 already.

00:14:09.120 Now add in all the blue states

00:14:10.620 and just that form

00:14:12.360 of fraud alone,

00:14:13.040 how many people

00:14:13.640 are getting benefits twice?

00:14:16.580 It's definitely

00:14:17.280 more than a million

00:14:18.140 if you get half a million

00:14:19.620 just from the red states.

00:14:22.100 Five million?

00:14:22.900 Ten million?

00:14:26.140 Who knows?

00:14:28.220 The Agriculture Secretary

00:14:29.220 is promising

00:14:29.800 some future action,

00:14:30.820 which is all she can

00:14:31.800 really do in her position,

00:14:32.720 but that's simply

00:14:33.540 not good enough.

00:14:34.140 The action that should

00:14:34.780 have been taken

00:14:35.280 by every single

00:14:36.640 Republican in Congress

00:14:37.460 was to abolish

00:14:39.600 the SNAP program entirely.

00:14:42.660 Don't throw billions

00:14:43.740 more dollars into it.

00:14:45.720 Don't just dump fuel

00:14:46.820 on the fire.

00:14:47.600 Get rid of it.

00:14:49.420 Keep the government

00:14:50.160 shut down if you have to.

00:14:51.820 I mean,

00:14:52.040 this is outrageous.

00:14:54.320 This is hurting Americans.

00:14:55.900 We are being defrauded

00:14:56.920 on a massive scale.

00:14:58.560 You know it.

00:14:59.280 Every Republican

00:14:59.880 in Congress knows it.

00:15:00.920 You all know it.

00:15:02.660 And yet they're standing

00:15:03.380 in front of the TV

00:15:04.080 saying,

00:15:04.460 it's so great,

00:15:05.000 we got our SNAP benefits back.

00:15:08.800 Totally gutless.

00:15:10.120 No courage at all.

00:15:11.780 You know this is wrong.

00:15:12.960 You know this is

00:15:13.580 what's happening.

00:15:14.840 You know that it's fraud.

00:15:17.800 And the fact that Republicans

00:15:18.980 caved on this issue

00:15:19.960 by itself

00:15:20.920 makes the shutdown

00:15:22.700 an abject failure

00:15:23.560 for the party.

00:15:24.180 Yes, Democrats didn't get

00:15:25.120 the Obamacare subsidies

00:15:26.060 they wanted,

00:15:26.680 at least not yet.

00:15:28.020 And yes,

00:15:28.400 if that holds,

00:15:28.960 it's going to save

00:15:29.500 taxpayers money

00:15:30.220 that would have gone

00:15:30.880 to health care

00:15:31.840 for illegal aliens

00:15:32.700 and other loyal

00:15:33.360 Democrat voters.

00:15:34.200 But there's really

00:15:35.380 no reason to think

00:15:36.140 that this stopgap

00:15:36.920 is going to hold.

00:15:37.480 After all,

00:15:37.780 Republican lawmakers

00:15:38.420 have just demonstrated

00:15:39.340 that they're willing

00:15:40.420 to tolerate

00:15:40.920 $100 billion

00:15:41.920 in fraudulent handouts

00:15:43.740 every year.

00:15:45.860 Roughly 60%

00:15:46.840 of those fraudulent

00:15:47.600 SNAP handouts

00:15:48.380 go to illegal

00:15:49.620 alien households.

00:15:51.040 And yet,

00:15:51.940 Republicans won't even

00:15:52.820 condemn that fraud

00:15:53.920 or mention it.

00:15:55.260 instead,

00:15:56.760 they'll celebrate

00:15:57.300 the payment

00:15:57.720 of SNAP benefits

00:15:58.380 as if it's some kind

00:15:59.060 of great win

00:15:59.740 for the country

00:16:00.400 because,

00:16:02.360 you know,

00:16:02.520 at long last,

00:16:03.200 the flight delays

00:16:04.000 will end.

00:16:05.760 We're supposed

00:16:06.340 to accept the proposition

00:16:07.360 that your ability

00:16:08.280 to fly on an airplane

00:16:09.660 in this country,

00:16:10.340 the world's greatest

00:16:11.000 superpower,

00:16:12.280 is contingent

00:16:13.280 on the ability

00:16:14.000 of tens of millions

00:16:14.760 of people,

00:16:15.840 including illegal aliens,

00:16:17.300 to receive fraudulent

00:16:18.360 benefits.

00:16:20.100 The Republican Party's

00:16:21.260 position is that

00:16:22.060 your ability

00:16:22.600 to fly on an airplane

00:16:23.760 is contingent

00:16:24.540 on illegal aliens

00:16:25.620 getting free food,

00:16:27.260 free Doritos.

00:16:28.080 That's their position.

00:16:31.460 Give them about

00:16:32.220 three months

00:16:32.700 and they'll be

00:16:33.140 rolling out

00:16:33.800 healthcare subsidies

00:16:34.760 for illegal aliens

00:16:36.300 as well.

00:16:37.940 I mean,

00:16:38.280 you might as well

00:16:40.120 at this point.

00:16:40.800 I mean,

00:16:41.080 you're letting them

00:16:41.760 defraud the SNAP program

00:16:42.900 to the tune

00:16:43.860 of many billions

00:16:44.600 of dollars.

00:16:46.400 Why does the

00:16:47.020 healthcare thing

00:16:47.480 even matter

00:16:48.000 if you're going

00:16:49.320 to let that happen?

00:16:51.920 Now,

00:16:52.360 at this point,

00:16:52.800 it'd be shocking

00:16:53.380 if you could find

00:16:54.060 anyone in this

00:16:54.520 country who's excited

00:16:55.640 to vote for

00:16:56.360 any of these

00:16:57.020 Republican lawmakers

00:16:57.780 in the midterms

00:16:58.440 a year from now.

00:16:59.440 They've refused

00:17:00.240 again and again

00:17:00.840 to take a principled

00:17:01.640 stand on anything.

00:17:03.980 From codifying

00:17:04.980 the doge cuts

00:17:05.760 in the federal government

00:17:06.600 to restricting

00:17:07.740 H-1B visas

00:17:08.660 to impeaching

00:17:10.500 federal judges

00:17:11.300 who are flagrantly

00:17:12.960 violating their

00:17:13.620 oaths of office,

00:17:16.900 codifying

00:17:17.460 almost any

00:17:18.360 of Trump's

00:17:19.020 executive orders

00:17:19.960 that he put

00:17:21.100 in place,

00:17:22.100 including,

00:17:23.520 by the way,

00:17:24.000 abolishing

00:17:24.620 child mutilation.

00:17:26.740 Still don't have

00:17:27.540 a federal bill

00:17:28.820 on that one.

00:17:31.020 There have been

00:17:31.780 some proposed.

00:17:33.160 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:17:33.800 proposed one.

00:17:35.440 Nothing's been passed.

00:17:38.220 And now,

00:17:39.340 predictably,

00:17:39.940 these same Republicans

00:17:40.680 have decided

00:17:41.200 to waste yet another

00:17:42.000 opportunity

00:17:42.440 with this government

00:17:43.260 shutdown.

00:17:43.680 Once again,

00:17:44.680 nothing will change.

00:17:46.000 Air travel will

00:17:46.680 continue to be dependent

00:17:47.460 on the federal government.

00:17:48.900 On the federal government,

00:17:49.960 illegal aliens

00:17:50.660 will get more

00:17:51.240 of your tax money.

00:17:53.660 And in January,

00:17:54.780 when the next

00:17:55.140 funding shutdown

00:17:55.820 is supposed

00:17:56.460 to take place,

00:17:57.560 we'll probably

00:17:58.500 get rolled

00:17:59.040 all over again.

00:18:01.540 That's what

00:18:02.060 millions of Republican

00:18:02.920 voters have to

00:18:03.580 look forward to.

00:18:04.740 I hate to break it

00:18:05.400 to you.

00:18:06.540 They can look forward

00:18:07.360 to being taken

00:18:07.940 advantage of

00:18:08.700 time and time again.

00:18:11.000 The GOP majority

00:18:12.160 can either address

00:18:13.180 these voters directly

00:18:14.200 and give them

00:18:16.360 what they voted for,

00:18:18.080 or they won't be

00:18:19.420 the majority

00:18:19.980 for much longer.

00:18:23.280 Now,

00:18:23.720 let's get to

00:18:23.960 our five headlines.

00:18:30.280 Grand Canyon University

00:18:31.340 is an affordable,

00:18:32.500 private Christian university

00:18:33.500 based in beautiful

00:18:34.740 Phoenix, Arizona.

00:18:36.040 It's one of the largest

00:18:36.720 universities in the country.

00:18:38.120 GCU is widely praised

00:18:39.520 for its culture

00:18:40.220 of community and impact.

00:18:41.700 They boast

00:18:42.060 369 academic programs,

00:20:16.000 New York Post

00:20:16.420 has this headline,

00:20:17.120 climate scientists

00:20:17.880 controversial claim

00:20:19.000 a Gulf Stream

00:20:20.780 could be near collapse

00:20:21.700 predicting

00:20:22.080 a new ice age.

00:20:25.260 Article says

00:20:26.060 a key Atlantic current

00:20:27.000 could be pushed

00:20:27.620 to the brink of collapse

00:20:28.600 within decades,

00:20:29.440 supposedly ushering

00:20:30.180 a new ice age

00:20:30.860 and dramatically

00:20:31.680 raising sea levels.

00:20:33.180 Climate scientists

00:20:33.780 have claimed

00:20:34.160 in a controversial

00:20:34.980 new study published

00:20:35.680 in the journal

00:20:36.120 Communications,

00:20:36.900 Earth and Environment.

00:20:38.640 The apocalyptic predictions

00:20:39.680 came as a result

00:20:40.800 of a collaboration

00:20:41.440 between researchers

00:20:42.520 at the Institute

00:20:43.020 of Oceanology

00:20:45.020 and the Chinese

00:20:46.820 Academy of Sciences

00:20:47.780 and the University

00:20:48.560 of California,

00:20:50.100 San Diego,

00:20:50.560 weeks after

00:20:50.940 one-time climate alarmist

00:20:51.980 Bill Gates

00:20:52.480 publicly downplayed

00:20:54.220 the impact

00:20:54.760 of temperature fluctuations

00:20:56.280 on the planet.

00:20:58.740 And now they are

00:20:59.540 talking about an ice age.

00:21:00.800 So the good news

00:21:01.380 is that we all survived

00:21:02.480 global warming.

00:21:03.220 You know,

00:21:03.360 that's the good.

00:21:03.760 So nice job, everyone.

00:21:04.720 I think we all deserve

00:21:05.280 a round of applause

00:21:06.040 for that.

00:21:07.020 Nice, hearty

00:21:08.400 pat on the back.

00:21:09.680 Look, global warming

00:21:10.900 has been defeated.

00:21:12.920 The earth boiled.

00:21:14.740 The seas rose.

00:21:18.000 Drowned us all.

00:21:20.140 Evaporated.

00:21:21.540 Just as was predicted.

00:21:22.760 And we survived it.

00:21:23.500 In fact, we survived it

00:21:24.660 so well that we didn't

00:21:25.380 even notice it happening.

00:21:27.160 That's how resilient we are.

00:21:28.600 That's how strong

00:21:29.260 and resilient we are

00:21:30.440 as a species.

00:21:32.140 You know,

00:21:32.580 there's been a lot

00:21:32.960 of black pilling recently,

00:21:34.400 but if you want

00:21:35.360 a white pill,

00:21:35.940 here it is.

00:21:36.500 That the earth

00:21:38.600 was destroyed

00:21:39.260 and we are so resilient

00:21:40.260 we didn't even know

00:21:40.980 it happened.

00:21:42.440 That's the power

00:21:43.220 of positive thinking.

00:21:45.740 And,

00:21:46.200 um,

00:21:47.080 that real mind

00:21:48.960 over matter

00:21:49.440 type of thing,

00:21:50.060 I guess.

00:21:51.480 But the bad news,

00:21:52.440 that's the good news.

00:21:53.300 Bad news is

00:21:54.180 we're back to the ice age.

00:21:55.780 Good news is

00:21:56.600 we survived global warming.

00:21:57.720 Bad news is,

00:21:58.800 well, now we all have

00:21:59.440 to freeze to death instead.

00:22:00.760 But the other good news

00:22:01.860 is that they predicted

00:22:02.960 an ice age back

00:22:03.720 in like the 70s

00:22:04.540 and we all survived that.

00:22:06.120 So we already froze to death

00:22:07.180 and then we boiled

00:22:08.000 and burned alive

00:22:08.920 and, uh,

00:22:10.400 and we're fine

00:22:11.020 and now we're going to,

00:22:11.720 um,

00:22:12.160 freeze again.

00:22:12.920 So, you know,

00:22:13.920 I think we can do it.

00:22:16.640 So here we are.

00:22:17.420 They've officially pivoted

00:22:18.420 back to the ice age,

00:22:19.900 which we knew they would,

00:22:22.740 uh,

00:22:24.080 because all of the

00:22:25.180 global warming predictions

00:22:26.260 failed.

00:22:28.840 I mean,

00:22:29.320 all of them.

00:22:29.880 You could go down the list.

00:22:31.140 There are plenty of lists

00:22:32.020 that have been compiled,

00:22:33.380 uh,

00:22:34.540 by various people

00:22:35.540 of these failed predictions.

00:22:37.620 And obviously there are

00:22:39.080 people like AOC

00:22:40.180 and Greta Thunberg

00:22:41.020 who told us that

00:22:41.760 we should be underwater

00:22:42.540 by now.

00:22:43.480 You know,

00:22:43.680 they said we'd all be

00:22:44.440 basically global destruction

00:22:45.960 in 10 years

00:22:46.940 and they said that

00:22:47.500 more than 10 years ago.

00:22:49.600 And as I said,

00:22:50.380 you could go down the list.

00:22:51.460 Here's just one example.

00:22:52.340 I found this article

00:22:53.060 in The Guardian

00:22:54.000 from 21 years ago.

00:22:58.360 I think I found this

00:22:59.280 on one of the,

00:22:59.680 one of the lists

00:23:00.900 that someone compiled of,

00:23:01.880 here are all the

00:23:02.400 failed predictions.

00:23:03.000 And it's like dozens

00:23:04.200 and dozens.

00:23:04.740 You can't even go

00:23:05.240 through the whole list.

00:23:05.760 It would take too long.

00:23:06.740 But there's a link

00:23:08.040 to this article.

00:23:08.600 This is from,

00:23:09.180 uh,

00:23:09.440 21 years ago.

00:23:10.040 This is 2004.

00:23:13.040 And

00:23:13.400 as a side note,

00:23:16.000 it always kind of

00:23:16.540 blows my mind

00:23:17.200 that you can pull up

00:23:18.060 articles from

00:23:18.800 two decades ago.

00:23:21.420 This article

00:23:22.160 on this website

00:23:23.020 is

00:23:23.860 almost twice as old

00:23:25.560 as my oldest child,

00:23:27.320 which,

00:23:28.200 which feels weird.

00:23:29.000 But

00:23:29.180 anyway,

00:23:30.320 so listen to this

00:23:30.900 from 2004.

00:23:31.740 Climate change

00:23:32.420 over the next 20 years

00:23:33.420 could result

00:23:34.240 in a global catastrophe

00:23:35.360 costing millions of lives

00:23:36.760 in wars

00:23:37.680 and natural disasters.

00:23:38.720 A secret report

00:23:39.480 suppressed by U.S.

00:23:40.800 defense chiefs

00:23:41.420 and obtained

00:23:41.720 by The Observer

00:23:42.320 warns that

00:23:43.480 major European cities

00:23:44.660 will be sunk

00:23:45.340 beneath rising seas

00:23:46.760 as Britain is plunged

00:23:48.360 into a Siberian climate

00:23:49.840 by 2020.

00:23:52.060 Nuclear conflict,

00:23:53.100 mega droughts,

00:23:53.960 famine,

00:23:54.280 and widespread rioting

00:23:55.260 will erupt

00:23:55.780 across the world.

00:23:57.000 The document predicts

00:23:57.940 the abrupt climate change

00:23:59.180 could bring the planet

00:24:00.100 to the edge of anarchy

00:24:01.300 as countries develop

00:24:02.380 a nuclear threat

00:24:03.260 to defend and secure

00:24:04.460 dwindling food,

00:24:05.380 water,

00:24:05.820 and energy supplies.

00:24:07.760 The threat to global stability

00:24:08.760 vastly eclipses

00:24:10.080 that of terrorism,

00:24:11.100 says the few experts

00:24:12.000 privy to its contents.

00:24:14.480 Pentagon analysis said

00:24:15.980 disruption and conflict

00:24:16.880 will be endemic features

00:24:18.080 of life.

00:24:19.520 Once again,

00:24:20.440 warfare would define

00:24:21.920 human life.

00:24:22.460 And it gets better

00:24:23.040 in this paragraph.

00:24:24.980 The findings will prove

00:24:25.720 humiliating to the Bush

00:24:26.840 administration,

00:24:27.360 which has repeatedly

00:24:28.100 denied that climate

00:24:29.100 change even exists.

00:24:30.820 Experts said that they

00:24:31.640 will also make

00:24:32.560 unsettling reading

00:24:33.360 for a president

00:24:33.960 who has insisted

00:24:34.900 national defense

00:24:35.980 is a priority.

00:24:40.960 Yes, how humiliating

00:24:42.380 for George Bush.

00:24:44.380 I mean, there is a lot

00:24:45.280 for George Bush

00:24:46.940 to be humiliated by,

00:24:48.900 obviously.

00:24:50.240 His tenure was disastrous

00:24:52.060 on many levels.

00:24:53.760 But this is not on this.

00:24:55.640 This is one thing

00:24:56.580 he got right.

00:24:57.360 This is a Pentagon

00:25:00.440 analysis saying

00:25:01.940 major cities

00:25:03.260 sunk beneath the seas

00:25:04.760 like Atlantis

00:25:06.520 by the year 2020.

00:25:09.100 Britain turned

00:25:10.100 into Siberia.

00:25:12.520 Global anarchy,

00:25:13.640 starvation,

00:25:15.340 the apocalypse

00:25:15.900 by 2020.

00:25:19.320 Now, ironically enough,

00:25:20.920 they predicted

00:25:21.460 major rioting

00:25:22.220 in 2020.

00:25:22.820 And that did happen,

00:25:23.600 but it had nothing

00:25:24.440 to do with climate

00:25:24.980 change.

00:25:28.780 That had a lot

00:25:29.500 more to do

00:25:29.880 with the race

00:25:32.720 hustling

00:25:33.240 that began

00:25:34.560 really in earnest

00:25:35.440 with Barack Obama

00:25:36.540 who would be elected

00:25:37.280 four years after

00:25:38.540 this report came out.

00:25:39.460 So, they got that one

00:25:40.500 right by accident,

00:25:42.120 but all the other stuff

00:25:43.440 they didn't.

00:25:45.500 And of course,

00:25:46.000 there is no reckoning

00:25:46.900 with any of this.

00:25:49.420 There's no acknowledgement

00:25:50.180 that they got it wrong.

00:25:52.060 Nothing like that

00:25:52.640 is happening.

00:25:55.200 They just simply

00:25:56.140 move on to the next thing.

00:25:59.560 Because there must

00:26:00.380 always be

00:26:01.220 some looming

00:26:02.520 Armageddon,

00:26:03.360 some fast-approaching

00:26:04.700 catastrophe.

00:26:06.100 There always has to be

00:26:07.080 something

00:26:07.440 like that.

00:26:10.640 This is what they used

00:26:11.640 to manipulate us,

00:26:12.480 and there always has to be.

00:26:13.480 Now, I don't think

00:26:14.380 they're going to try

00:26:15.480 to stick with the

00:26:16.160 climate stuff,

00:26:17.040 the climate alarmism,

00:26:18.160 and they're going

00:26:19.340 to try to shift

00:26:20.060 back to the Ice Age.

00:26:22.400 I don't think

00:26:23.060 it's going to take.

00:26:25.120 I don't think

00:26:26.040 that this is going

00:26:26.580 to work.

00:26:28.360 So, they're probably

00:26:29.500 going to need

00:26:29.840 to do something else.

00:26:30.380 They're going to need

00:26:30.660 to find some other

00:26:31.900 form of

00:26:33.740 planetary catastrophe

00:26:35.280 to scare us all with.

00:26:38.380 I don't know

00:26:38.640 what it's going to be,

00:26:39.700 but I don't think

00:26:40.800 it'll be this.

00:26:41.220 I don't think

00:26:41.500 this is going to work.

00:26:43.580 All right,

00:26:44.040 we've played

00:26:44.460 several clips

00:26:45.120 of Michelle Obama

00:26:46.040 on her book tour

00:26:48.040 as she hawks

00:26:49.360 her fashion book,

00:26:51.680 her book of pictures

00:26:52.780 of herself,

00:26:55.240 called,

00:26:55.700 what was it called?

00:26:56.280 The Look.

00:26:56.820 The book is called

00:26:57.520 The Look.

00:26:58.420 The book is called

00:26:59.380 Look at Me,

00:27:00.660 The Book,

00:27:01.600 and we probably

00:27:02.280 don't need to play

00:27:02.700 any more clips of it,

00:27:03.600 but we really never

00:27:04.440 needed to play any clips,

00:27:05.580 but we did

00:27:06.240 because they're funny,

00:27:07.180 and so is this one.

00:27:08.740 So,

00:27:09.960 here it is.

00:27:11.220 Watch.

00:27:13.080 And we have to start

00:27:14.460 educating people

00:27:15.480 about all kinds

00:27:16.780 of beauty.

00:27:17.740 Yes.

00:27:18.220 And our beauty

00:27:19.400 is so powerful

00:27:20.740 and so unique

00:27:22.360 that it is worthy

00:27:25.900 of the conversation

00:27:27.100 and it's worthy

00:27:28.180 of demanding

00:27:28.980 the respect

00:27:29.900 that we're owed

00:27:31.400 for who we are

00:27:33.300 and what we offer

00:27:34.260 to the world.

00:27:35.340 Absolutely.

00:27:36.160 Absolutely.

00:27:38.240 Okay,

00:27:38.860 so that was from

00:27:39.540 Michelle Obama's podcast,

00:27:41.280 I guess,

00:27:42.520 with Michelle Obama

00:27:43.340 and Craig Robinson.

00:27:44.520 The podcast is called

00:27:45.260 IMO.

00:27:46.600 I never knew

00:27:47.260 what her podcast

00:27:47.820 was called.

00:27:48.140 Nobody listens to it,

00:27:49.060 but IMO,

00:27:51.160 In My Opinion.

00:27:51.920 So they chose

00:27:53.280 the least imaginative

00:27:54.880 title for a podcast.

00:27:58.380 I can't think

00:27:59.100 of a less imaginative

00:28:01.320 or interesting title

00:28:02.300 for a podcast

00:28:02.900 than In My Opinion.

00:28:07.900 No,

00:28:08.340 that's not imaginative.

00:28:10.720 Like if your name

00:28:12.240 is Matt Walsh

00:28:12.880 and your show's title

00:28:13.660 is The Matt Walsh Show.

00:28:15.080 Now that is innovation,

00:28:16.720 okay?

00:28:18.060 So anyway,

00:28:18.760 she says that

00:28:19.460 black female beauty

00:28:21.580 is owed respect

00:28:22.600 and people need

00:28:23.220 to be educated about it.

00:28:25.460 And I have to say

00:28:26.840 that that kind of

00:28:27.460 resonated with me.

00:28:28.100 I've always said,

00:28:28.820 I've always said this,

00:28:29.720 I've always said

00:28:30.300 that anyone

00:28:31.860 who doesn't find

00:28:32.460 me attractive,

00:28:33.460 it's because

00:28:34.360 they lack education.

00:28:35.760 That's always been

00:28:37.440 my thing.

00:28:38.280 It's not because

00:28:39.000 I'm a hideous ogre,

00:28:39.960 it's because

00:28:40.440 they're just not

00:28:41.160 educated enough.

00:28:42.040 If you think

00:28:42.500 that I'm not

00:28:42.920 an attractive person,

00:28:43.980 if you don't realize

00:28:45.220 that I'm incredibly handsome,

00:28:46.240 it's because

00:28:46.600 you lack education,

00:28:48.000 okay?

00:28:48.580 You are ignorant.

00:28:50.540 You need to educate yourself.

00:28:53.600 Just the other day,

00:28:54.380 somebody came up

00:28:54.800 between me and said,

00:28:55.280 you're ugly.

00:28:56.240 And I said,

00:28:56.880 wow,

00:28:57.600 sounds like you're

00:28:58.140 pretty uneducated.

00:28:59.880 Hey,

00:29:00.140 go read a book,

00:29:00.880 you Philistine.

00:29:02.600 Go back to school,

00:29:03.660 take a class

00:29:04.360 on why I'm actually handsome.

00:29:07.440 And that was a,

00:29:10.760 they didn't know

00:29:11.100 what to say,

00:29:11.400 they just walked away.

00:29:12.340 Devastating comeback.

00:29:14.220 So we've already talked

00:29:15.200 about how Michelle Obama,

00:29:16.280 you know,

00:29:16.740 lives the world's

00:29:17.560 most comfortable

00:29:18.440 and privileged life

00:29:19.360 and yet still isn't happy.

00:29:20.620 She's on camera

00:29:21.160 every day complaining.

00:29:23.480 I do,

00:29:24.040 I do always,

00:29:24.880 I find it in some ways

00:29:26.180 like endlessly fascinating

00:29:27.400 just from a psychological

00:29:28.700 perspective.

00:29:31.040 But we don't need

00:29:31.740 to go over that point again.

00:29:32.700 I will note

00:29:33.120 just one other thing

00:29:33.940 that she said

00:29:34.540 that stuck out to me.

00:29:36.240 She said that

00:29:37.440 black women are,

00:29:38.740 because she's talking

00:29:39.240 about how black women

00:29:39.860 are beautiful.

00:29:40.500 This is what she

00:29:40.980 always talks about.

00:29:43.380 This is her,

00:29:44.960 a constant theme

00:29:46.060 is her trying

00:29:47.560 to convince the world

00:29:48.740 that she is beautiful.

00:29:51.560 She talks about

00:29:52.720 her own beauty

00:29:53.840 more than anyone

00:29:55.380 I've ever seen.

00:29:58.100 And she says

00:29:59.280 that black women

00:30:00.080 are worthy

00:30:00.660 of demanding

00:30:01.300 the respect

00:30:01.900 that we're owed

00:30:02.940 for who we are

00:30:05.160 and what we offer

00:30:06.260 to the world.

00:30:09.760 What is it

00:30:10.300 that you offer

00:30:10.680 to the world

00:30:11.020 exactly,

00:30:11.560 Michelle?

00:30:12.840 What are you offering?

00:30:16.000 I didn't quite

00:30:16.860 get that.

00:30:17.620 The look?

00:30:18.100 You're offering

00:30:18.520 your look?

00:30:19.940 Your stunning outfits?

00:30:21.740 Is that what you're offering?

00:30:23.800 And I will say,

00:30:24.600 this is a lesson

00:30:25.380 for all of us,

00:30:26.080 that Michelle

00:30:26.520 is an instructive example.

00:30:27.740 I think of this,

00:30:30.080 which is that

00:30:30.620 those who demand

00:30:32.540 respect

00:30:33.260 never get respect.

00:30:35.380 And this is really

00:30:36.200 Michelle's problem

00:30:36.960 is that she's always,

00:30:38.540 she's got a lot of problems.

00:30:39.540 This is one of them.

00:30:41.280 She's going around

00:30:42.340 constantly

00:30:43.020 demanding respect

00:30:44.780 everywhere she goes

00:30:46.040 ever since she's been

00:30:46.940 on the public stage.

00:30:49.540 Always goes back

00:30:50.460 to the two things

00:30:51.200 she talks about

00:30:51.860 that she's beautiful

00:30:53.580 and we're all supposed

00:30:55.800 to maintain

00:30:56.800 a polite

00:30:57.740 straight face

00:30:58.600 while she says that

00:30:59.400 and that she deserves

00:31:00.680 respect.

00:31:01.300 She's demanding respect.

00:31:02.800 You will respect me.

00:31:05.140 But this is exactly

00:31:06.240 her problem

00:31:06.740 because that just makes

00:31:08.400 people respect you less.

00:31:09.580 It's a life lesson

00:31:10.280 for all of us.

00:31:12.480 Contrary to what

00:31:13.120 Michelle says,

00:31:13.860 do not demand respect.

00:31:15.840 You should not be

00:31:16.860 demanding respect.

00:31:19.800 That's the last thing

00:31:20.960 you should,

00:31:21.240 if you want to be respected,

00:31:22.200 the last thing you should do

00:31:23.380 is demand it.

00:31:25.720 Okay,

00:31:26.160 you shouldn't be

00:31:26.680 demanding respect

00:31:27.740 you should be

00:31:28.680 commanding respect.

00:31:30.660 Command,

00:31:31.500 don't demand.

00:31:33.660 Demanding respect

00:31:34.500 is weak

00:31:35.040 because it means

00:31:36.360 you walk into a room,

00:31:37.440 you're on the defense,

00:31:38.520 you're insisting

00:31:39.900 from a position

00:31:40.540 of weakness.

00:31:41.240 You're saying,

00:31:41.560 hey, everybody,

00:31:42.040 respect me.

00:31:43.160 I deserve it.

00:31:45.640 I'm a beautiful

00:31:46.680 black woman

00:31:47.280 and I deserve it.

00:31:48.980 You should respect me.

00:31:51.140 It's pitiful.

00:31:52.160 It's weak.

00:31:52.600 It's needy.

00:31:53.240 And nobody respects that.

00:31:57.960 But commanding respect

00:31:59.160 means you walk

00:31:59.820 into a room

00:32:00.400 and you don't need

00:32:01.760 to make any demands.

00:32:02.720 You don't need

00:32:03.040 to ask for

00:32:04.040 or insist on respect.

00:32:05.400 You command it

00:32:06.440 through the way

00:32:07.140 that you carry yourself,

00:32:08.140 through the way

00:32:08.500 that you conduct yourself,

00:32:09.580 your general

00:32:10.180 sort of presence,

00:32:12.080 your aura.

00:32:13.580 That is,

00:32:14.200 that's commanding respect.

00:32:15.980 Be a competent,

00:32:16.800 authoritative,

00:32:17.700 self-assured,

00:32:18.260 intelligent,

00:32:18.780 honest person

00:32:19.360 and you will

00:32:21.000 command respect.

00:32:21.940 This is crucially

00:32:22.820 important with parenting

00:32:23.980 also,

00:32:24.440 not to get too sidetracked.

00:32:26.080 But,

00:32:26.640 this is a problem

00:32:28.300 that many parents face.

00:32:30.400 When you see

00:32:31.060 these parents

00:32:31.500 that have lost

00:32:31.900 total control

00:32:32.480 over their kids

00:32:33.240 and they're in the

00:32:34.380 supermarket or wherever,

00:32:35.540 they're at a restaurant,

00:32:36.440 they're annoying everybody,

00:32:37.620 kids out of control

00:32:38.420 and they're like

00:32:41.660 begging their child

00:32:42.800 to behave

00:32:43.360 and they,

00:32:44.200 a lot of parents,

00:32:44.840 they fluctuate wildly

00:32:45.900 between begging,

00:32:47.780 bribing,

00:32:50.880 making promises,

00:32:52.840 negotiating

00:32:53.520 and then also demanding,

00:32:56.540 threatening,

00:32:57.280 like there's

00:32:57.700 all over the place.

00:32:59.300 They've lost

00:32:59.940 total control

00:33:00.580 of themselves

00:33:01.260 and so their child's

00:33:02.440 out of control.

00:33:03.600 Their child's

00:33:04.320 out of control

00:33:04.640 because you're

00:33:05.100 out of control.

00:33:08.140 Okay,

00:33:08.720 and,

00:33:09.120 and ultimately

00:33:11.520 for kids

00:33:12.400 when they're

00:33:12.760 freaking out,

00:33:13.700 especially at a young age,

00:33:14.960 a lot of this is

00:33:16.160 they're confused,

00:33:17.200 they don't really know

00:33:17.680 what's going on

00:33:18.400 and then they look

00:33:19.540 to you

00:33:19.840 and you're projecting

00:33:20.580 confusion

00:33:21.220 and helplessness

00:33:22.280 and,

00:33:23.200 and,

00:33:24.300 and,

00:33:25.000 and you're demanding

00:33:25.940 respect,

00:33:26.560 you're not commanding it.

00:33:29.420 The reason that

00:33:30.380 if your kids

00:33:31.060 don't listen to you

00:33:31.940 or respect you,

00:33:32.840 it's that

00:33:33.360 you're,

00:33:34.000 you're,

00:33:34.320 you're making demands

00:33:35.400 all the time

00:33:35.980 but demanding

00:33:38.040 is not commanding

00:33:39.200 which is one of the reasons

00:33:41.620 why,

00:33:41.900 you know,

00:33:42.060 you see,

00:33:42.580 you see these kids

00:33:45.040 that are really

00:33:45.420 out of control

00:33:46.020 and you often think,

00:33:47.340 oh,

00:33:47.500 well,

00:33:47.600 they must have

00:33:48.240 really lenient parents.

00:33:50.680 They must have

00:33:51.340 these really lenient,

00:33:52.820 gentle,

00:33:53.160 must be a gentle

00:33:53.840 parenting thing.

00:33:54.680 They must have parents

00:33:55.360 that never raise their voice

00:33:56.480 or anything like that

00:33:57.780 and sometimes that's the case

00:33:59.060 because the gentle parenting

00:33:59.980 thing is also bad

00:34:01.460 but very often

00:34:02.900 that's not the case.

00:34:03.860 I mean,

00:34:03.980 if you could be in the home

00:34:04.880 where these kids live,

00:34:06.500 a lot of times

00:34:06.940 there's a lot of yelling

00:34:07.680 and screaming

00:34:08.260 and,

00:34:08.860 um,

00:34:09.900 a lot of punishing

00:34:10.860 and threatening

00:34:11.440 that does go on

00:34:12.440 but the kid's

00:34:14.800 out of control

00:34:15.300 because this is a parent

00:34:16.680 who has no control

00:34:17.680 over himself

00:34:18.740 or herself.

00:34:20.900 A parent who doesn't

00:34:21.880 command respect

00:34:22.580 because they're always

00:34:23.260 demanding it.

00:34:25.120 They're always having

00:34:25.920 to explain.

00:34:27.080 I mean,

00:34:27.240 if you're constantly

00:34:27.660 having to explain

00:34:28.500 to your kid

00:34:29.180 why they should respect

00:34:30.500 you and your rules

00:34:31.340 then you're already losing.

00:34:34.580 You shouldn't have

00:34:35.320 to explain it.

00:34:36.000 You should be

00:34:36.360 commanding respect

00:34:37.180 with the way you carry

00:34:39.100 yourself in your home.

00:34:39.900 Anyway,

00:34:41.120 that's completely,

00:34:41.840 that's a,

00:34:42.880 has almost nothing

00:34:43.620 to do with

00:34:44.120 Michelle Obama

00:34:45.640 but

00:34:45.940 needed to be said anyway.

00:34:49.960 So we followed this story

00:34:51.040 out of Gold's Gym.

00:34:52.440 Tish Hyman

00:34:53.060 confronted a man

00:34:54.420 who was in

00:34:55.000 the women's locker room.

00:34:56.040 Turns out the man

00:34:56.520 allegedly beat his ex-wife,

00:34:58.700 um,

00:34:59.340 took her name

00:35:00.160 and then

00:35:01.500 assumed her identity

00:35:02.840 essentially,

00:35:03.540 tried to become a woman

00:35:04.400 quote unquote.

00:35:05.360 Now hangs out

00:35:06.060 in women's locker rooms

00:35:06.900 pretending to be

00:35:07.700 a woman.

00:35:08.740 Well,

00:35:08.940 Tish went to,

00:35:09.500 I guess this is

00:35:10.060 some kind of town hall

00:35:11.000 and,

00:35:12.320 uh,

00:35:12.500 or a podcast interview

00:35:13.720 or something like that.

00:35:14.660 But,

00:35:14.940 uh,

00:35:15.260 California State Senator

00:35:16.420 Scott Wiener

00:35:17.160 who is one of the

00:35:18.000 creepiest weirdos

00:35:19.480 in politics

00:35:20.080 at any level.

00:35:21.720 The guy just makes

00:35:22.540 your skin crawl

00:35:23.420 when you look at him

00:35:24.320 and then when he

00:35:24.960 opens his mouth

00:35:25.680 or you listen to

00:35:26.440 his policy proposals

00:35:27.380 it's even worse.

00:35:28.200 but she showed up

00:35:29.820 to talk to him

00:35:30.780 confront him

00:35:31.720 and here's how

00:35:33.580 that went.

00:35:35.260 As a lesbian woman

00:35:36.620 who was attacked

00:35:37.780 in the woman's

00:35:38.440 locker room

00:35:38.920 at Gold's Gym

00:35:39.720 this week

00:35:40.300 by a self-identifying

00:35:41.980 trans woman

00:35:43.120 with a documented

00:35:44.380 history of domestic

00:35:45.480 violence,

00:35:46.200 I'm deeply concerned

00:35:47.400 about women's safety

00:35:48.700 in the female-only spaces.

00:35:50.640 What would you say

00:35:51.400 to women

00:35:51.920 who are seeking

00:35:52.880 assurance

00:35:53.600 that their safety

00:35:54.700 will be protected

00:35:55.740 from men

00:35:56.500 who by California law

00:35:58.440 can self-ID

00:35:59.580 as women

00:36:00.240 in women-only spaces,

00:36:02.120 sir?

00:36:02.720 Please tell me.

00:36:04.340 Yeah.

00:36:04.940 So,

00:36:05.560 we want,

00:36:06.160 I mean,

00:36:06.520 everyone to be safe

00:36:07.560 and we also

00:36:09.160 know that,

00:36:10.160 you know,

00:36:10.420 we have

00:36:11.040 trans people,

00:36:12.560 both men

00:36:13.060 and women

00:36:13.680 who are

00:36:15.700 men and women

00:36:16.800 and so,

00:36:18.720 you know,

00:36:19.700 we,

00:36:20.240 so,

00:36:21.240 if you're

00:36:21.540 trans women

00:36:22.260 are women.

00:36:23.540 Senator,

00:36:23.880 you've done

00:36:24.220 great things

00:36:24.680 with the bills

00:36:25.100 you've passed

00:36:25.540 with the housing.

00:36:26.500 I've read a lot

00:36:27.320 of your bills

00:36:27.820 and like you said,

00:36:29.000 there are bills

00:36:29.400 that need to be

00:36:29.920 opened up

00:36:30.480 and I'm telling you now,

00:36:32.400 millions of women

00:36:33.220 across America

00:36:34.020 have been harassed

00:36:35.000 and sexually assaulted

00:36:36.340 in locker rooms.

00:36:37.200 I'm a lesbian black woman,

00:36:38.620 I'm not transphobic,

00:36:39.840 I'm not homophobic

00:36:40.760 and I do respect

00:36:41.580 a lot of the things

00:36:42.320 you've done

00:36:42.780 but I do see

00:36:44.020 a lot of these bills

00:36:44.840 that you've passed

00:36:45.580 that are dangerous

00:36:46.480 for women

00:36:47.000 and young children

00:36:47.860 and I understand

00:36:48.580 that you're trying

00:36:49.100 to be on a level

00:36:49.880 playing field

00:36:50.440 and I'm here

00:36:51.240 to represent my community

00:36:52.320 because I hear a lot

00:36:53.000 of things

00:36:53.300 about my community

00:36:54.140 and these bills

00:36:54.740 and I'm telling you

00:36:55.960 as a woman

00:36:56.540 first and foremost

00:36:57.760 that this is dangerous

00:36:58.940 and we need your help

00:36:59.940 because you're in the office,

00:37:00.880 you're going to go

00:37:01.300 in the publicity spot.

00:37:02.560 I want to support you.

00:37:03.660 I have millions

00:37:04.100 of people behind me

00:37:05.080 watching this right now

00:37:06.480 and we want to know

00:37:07.460 are you going

00:37:08.180 to protect women,

00:37:09.380 not trans women,

00:37:10.720 women,

00:37:11.280 women, trans women

00:37:12.040 are different things.

00:37:12.800 Women, women,

00:37:13.940 listen,

00:37:14.660 we need to protect

00:37:15.460 women's safety.

00:37:16.280 I was assaulted.

00:37:16.820 Women are women.

00:37:17.520 I was assaulted.

00:37:18.360 No, they are not.

00:37:19.240 They are men.

00:37:20.020 I was assaulted by women.

00:37:21.180 Men, women,

00:37:21.760 not a given.

00:37:22.480 He broke his wife's jaw

00:37:24.140 so brash

00:37:24.840 she needed

00:37:25.140 reconstructed surgery.

00:37:26.740 I'm a lesbian.

00:37:27.900 I'm not transphobic

00:37:28.900 and I'm black.

00:37:29.740 So if there's another

00:37:30.400 black woman in here

00:37:31.280 who wants to tell me

00:37:32.360 how they feel,

00:37:33.200 please join in.

00:37:34.120 But all of you are not.

00:37:35.460 And I don't know

00:37:35.880 who you are

00:37:36.340 or what you are,

00:37:37.080 but I'm a lesbian

00:37:37.800 and I'm telling you right now,

00:37:39.200 men are harassing women

00:37:40.280 in the locker room.

00:37:41.040 I think we need

00:37:42.120 to protect the safety

00:37:42.840 of all women.

00:37:44.060 Please.

00:37:44.520 And that,

00:37:46.740 obviously,

00:37:47.180 that's incredibly important.

00:37:48.900 And I also know

00:37:50.340 that trans women

00:37:51.840 are also

00:37:52.960 brutalized

00:37:54.120 in this country.

00:37:56.360 Okay,

00:37:56.920 so then she

00:37:57.520 ends up leaving

00:37:58.960 as the clip continues

00:38:00.760 and she kind of

00:38:01.400 storms out

00:38:02.020 frustrated,

00:38:04.040 understandably so.

00:38:05.600 Creepy Scott Wiener

00:38:06.420 just stutters

00:38:07.260 and stammers

00:38:08.260 about how trans women

00:38:09.200 are women

00:38:09.980 and trans women

00:38:11.000 are brutalized

00:38:12.100 in this country,

00:38:12.720 which isn't true,

00:38:13.300 of course.

00:38:14.120 Trans women,

00:38:15.260 quote unquote,

00:38:16.300 a.k.a. men dressed as women,

00:38:17.660 are not under attack.

00:38:19.960 And if they were,

00:38:21.020 they would not be

00:38:21.740 casually strolling

00:38:23.180 into locker rooms

00:38:24.360 like that.

00:38:26.780 So it's very much

00:38:27.860 like when you see

00:38:28.600 a body cam

00:38:29.360 of a black guy

00:38:30.180 going out of his way

00:38:31.200 to be confrontational

00:38:32.140 with the cops

00:38:32.660 and then they tell us

00:38:33.820 that,

00:38:34.820 well,

00:38:34.920 he was acting that way

00:38:35.600 because black people

00:38:36.300 are scared of the cops.

00:38:38.380 And of course,

00:38:39.020 the response is always,

00:38:39.760 well,

00:38:40.020 if they're scared,

00:38:40.840 then they'd be acting

00:38:41.900 exactly the opposite

00:38:43.140 of this.

00:38:45.900 Okay,

00:38:46.400 this is someone

00:38:47.180 acting like

00:38:47.860 they have no fear

00:38:48.880 of any consequences

00:38:50.360 at all.

00:38:52.240 So,

00:38:52.860 and it's the same

00:38:53.440 with these trans-identified males

00:38:54.820 that we're told

00:38:55.400 that they're in fear,

00:38:56.320 they're under attack,

00:38:57.160 and yet the way

00:38:58.100 that they conduct themselves

00:38:59.440 is not like someone

00:39:00.960 who is in fear

00:39:02.820 of an anti-trans genocide,

00:39:05.920 but like someone

00:39:06.780 who's walking around

00:39:07.520 and feels untouchable.

00:39:10.200 Because for a long time

00:39:11.220 they have been.

00:39:13.780 And,

00:39:14.320 in any case,

00:39:15.480 Wiener sticks

00:39:15.980 to the talking points,

00:39:17.060 which is what you would expect,

00:39:18.580 and Tish has acted

00:39:20.200 commendably

00:39:20.780 in fighting back

00:39:21.500 against this madness,

00:39:22.480 which I appreciate.

00:39:24.120 I don't want a Monday morning

00:39:25.220 quarterback or nitpick.

00:39:27.180 I will say that

00:39:28.200 we've played a few clips

00:39:30.480 of this woman

00:39:31.660 on the show

00:39:32.080 and she continually

00:39:32.860 reverts back

00:39:33.560 to this point

00:39:34.200 about how she's

00:39:34.840 a black woman

00:39:35.420 and a lesbian.

00:39:36.740 She's brought it up

00:39:37.440 in every clip

00:39:37.880 we've played

00:39:38.260 that she's a black woman

00:39:39.360 and a lesbian.

00:39:41.020 The problem

00:39:41.820 is,

00:39:43.020 first of all,

00:39:43.780 you don't need to say

00:39:44.900 the I'm a black woman

00:39:46.100 part of it

00:39:46.500 because we can,

00:39:47.480 yeah,

00:39:47.820 I mean,

00:39:48.140 we can see that.

00:39:48.740 You also don't need

00:39:50.960 to say that you're

00:39:51.440 a lesbian

00:39:51.820 and if I was advising her,

00:39:53.640 I'd tell her,

00:39:54.180 you know,

00:39:54.420 the problem is that

00:39:55.200 as we've reviewed

00:39:55.820 on the show,

00:39:56.440 as a black lesbian,

00:39:57.620 you are below

00:39:59.080 trans people

00:40:00.480 on the left-wing

00:40:02.180 victim hierarchy.

00:40:03.360 So,

00:40:04.220 using your own

00:40:05.120 victim group status

00:40:06.240 is not going to work.

00:40:09.120 I mean,

00:40:09.500 in this argument,

00:40:10.500 you might as well be

00:40:11.720 a dastardly

00:40:13.240 straight white male,

00:40:14.460 God forbid,

00:40:15.580 because you are below

00:40:17.000 trans

00:40:17.800 on the hierarchy.

00:40:21.120 So,

00:40:21.640 normally on the left,

00:40:22.680 and this is why

00:40:23.200 there's this confusion,

00:40:24.140 this is why she thinks

00:40:24.940 that this,

00:40:26.260 especially when she's

00:40:26.880 talking to a room

00:40:27.660 full of leftists

00:40:28.400 in California

00:40:29.160 at some Scott Wiener event,

00:40:31.140 right,

00:40:31.400 you don't get more

00:40:31.880 left-wing than that.

00:40:33.520 And so,

00:40:34.180 in some ways,

00:40:34.680 it's understandable

00:40:35.200 she thinks that,

00:40:36.940 well, yeah,

00:40:37.300 I mean,

00:40:37.460 with these people,

00:40:38.720 there's mostly a bunch

00:40:39.640 of white liberals

00:40:40.300 and I'm a black lesbian.

00:40:41.800 I mean,

00:40:42.040 normally,

00:40:43.640 I could win

00:40:44.560 any argument

00:40:45.340 with these people

00:40:46.120 just by pointing that out.

00:40:47.800 If I say

00:40:48.440 two plus two equals five

00:40:49.620 and they go,

00:40:50.320 no, it doesn't,

00:40:51.000 you know,

00:40:51.240 I can say,

00:40:51.860 well,

00:40:51.940 I'm a black lesbian

00:40:52.780 and I think it does.

00:40:53.780 And they'll say,

00:40:54.300 well, okay,

00:40:54.720 maybe it does.

00:40:55.780 If that's your truth,

00:40:57.420 so she knows

00:40:59.220 that that's usually

00:40:59.880 the way to win arguments

00:41:01.240 among leftists,

00:41:02.920 but not this one.

00:41:06.120 Yeah,

00:41:06.500 I gotta win this one

00:41:07.120 that way

00:41:07.740 because of the way

00:41:10.520 the victim hierarchy works.

00:41:11.680 and you are below

00:41:14.100 trans-identified people,

00:41:17.140 including trans-identified

00:41:19.100 white males

00:41:20.640 on the victim hierarchy.

00:41:23.900 It's like we've talked,

00:41:24.580 you can go,

00:41:24.920 I did a whole video on it.

00:41:26.180 Very important.

00:41:26.700 The calculus here

00:41:27.900 is very,

00:41:28.320 very complicated,

00:41:29.420 but it's all,

00:41:29.980 I spell it all out.

00:41:31.100 So maybe,

00:41:31.600 Tish,

00:41:32.260 I'd recommend

00:41:32.560 going to check that out.

00:41:33.820 But at the very bottom

00:41:36.080 of the pyramid,

00:41:36.640 of course,

00:41:36.880 you have the white males.

00:41:37.880 But the interesting thing

00:41:40.220 with the way

00:41:40.460 the pyramid works

00:41:41.220 is that white males can,

00:41:43.640 there's a cheat code

00:41:44.540 where they can get out from,

00:41:46.880 they could go from the bottom

00:41:48.260 all the way to the top

00:41:49.520 if they just put on a wig

00:41:52.160 and say,

00:41:52.720 I'm a woman.

00:41:54.560 Like,

00:41:54.740 that's the only way,

00:41:55.980 and the only way

00:41:56.640 they'll get up there.

00:41:57.400 Only way to leapfrog it

00:41:58.460 is that way.

00:42:01.320 And,

00:42:01.700 so,

00:42:03.160 I think this is confusing

00:42:04.040 for certain people

00:42:05.480 who are generally on the left

00:42:06.580 who still haven't figured this out.

00:42:08.160 Now,

00:42:08.560 will there be a reshuffling

00:42:09.960 of the victim hierarchy

00:42:11.120 as trans falls out of favor

00:42:13.620 more and more

00:42:14.280 and there's less

00:42:15.960 sort of political purchase

00:42:17.320 in

00:42:17.880 defending

00:42:20.200 quote-unquote

00:42:20.880 trans rights?

00:42:21.720 Will there be a reshuffling?

00:42:24.140 Will,

00:42:24.660 you know,

00:42:27.460 will black women

00:42:28.840 be able to reclaim

00:42:31.700 their top spot

00:42:32.520 on the victim hierarchy

00:42:34.140 on the left?

00:42:35.380 Well,

00:42:35.540 that'll be interesting.

00:42:36.240 We'll see that unfold

00:42:37.100 over the next couple

00:42:37.800 of years,

00:42:38.240 but

00:42:38.400 I don't know.

00:42:40.420 We'll see.

00:42:41.620 It'll be interesting

00:42:42.440 to see how that shakes out.

00:42:43.860 Okay,

00:42:44.040 finally,

00:42:44.800 the Daily Mail reports.

00:42:46.640 Here's a headline.

00:42:49.480 Target makes disturbing

00:42:50.660 demand of staff

00:42:51.900 in a bid to boost

00:42:53.020 flagging sales.

00:42:54.960 Another reason

00:42:55.660 to shop elsewhere.

00:42:58.460 Disturbing demands.

00:43:00.700 That sounds scary,

00:43:01.780 doesn't it?

00:43:02.180 If you shop at Target

00:43:04.900 at all,

00:43:06.000 you probably want to know

00:43:08.060 as a customer

00:43:08.560 that they're making

00:43:09.220 disturbing demands

00:43:10.820 of their employees.

00:43:14.060 I don't like that.

00:43:15.100 If I was shopping

00:43:15.820 at a place,

00:43:16.180 I didn't really shop

00:43:16.680 at Target.

00:43:17.960 But if I did,

00:43:18.800 I wouldn't want to know.

00:43:19.420 I wouldn't want to shop there

00:43:20.760 and approve of that.

00:43:22.080 You're making disturbing demands?

00:43:23.780 So let's read on.

00:43:26.300 Let's find out

00:43:26.740 what these disturbing demands are.

00:43:28.000 I mean,

00:43:28.160 the mind,

00:43:29.800 you conjure all kinds

00:43:31.360 of possibilities

00:43:31.940 of what these demands

00:43:33.100 could be.

00:43:34.580 Well,

00:43:35.020 reading on,

00:43:36.800 "'Tis the season

00:43:37.440 to be jolly,

00:43:38.100 especially if you work

00:43:38.760 at Target.

00:43:39.600 The retailer wants employees

00:43:40.820 to keep their spirits bright

00:43:42.520 and their smiles tighter

00:43:43.880 as the holiday rush

00:43:45.300 hits full speed.

00:43:46.040 Indeed,

00:43:46.560 Target has imposed

00:43:47.200 new rules on employees

00:43:48.360 in an effort to spark

00:43:49.280 some festive cheer up,

00:43:51.440 festive cheer up

00:43:52.900 and down the superstore's aisles.

00:43:54.740 Employees were told

00:43:55.440 that if a shopper

00:43:55.980 comes within 10 feet of them,

00:43:57.520 they must smile.

00:43:58.700 If they come closer

00:43:59.440 within four feet,

00:44:00.580 employees must ask

00:44:01.480 whether they need help

00:44:02.320 or how their day is going.

00:44:04.500 Heading into the holiday,

00:44:05.300 we're making adjustments

00:44:06.040 and implementing new ways

00:44:07.460 to increase connection

00:44:08.420 during the most important

00:44:09.220 time of year.

00:44:10.060 Chief Stores Officer

00:44:11.020 Adrian Costanzo

00:44:12.500 told Bloomberg,

00:44:13.920 the guidance is part

00:44:14.560 of Target's new initiative,

00:44:16.740 internally dubbed

00:44:17.320 the 10-4 program,

00:44:18.660 to make its stores

00:44:19.320 more welcoming.

00:44:20.700 While Target has always

00:44:21.520 encouraged workers

00:44:22.160 to be outgoing and kind,

00:44:23.120 it has never mandated

00:44:24.100 this before.

00:44:26.260 Response to the news online

00:44:27.240 has been critical.

00:44:29.580 Nothing boosts morale

00:44:30.320 like a mandatory happiness.

00:44:32.340 Next update,

00:44:32.940 employees must giggle

00:44:33.760 when scanning items.

00:44:35.100 Another wrote,

00:44:36.120 they did just fire

00:44:36.800 a ton of employees

00:44:37.440 and now they want them

00:44:38.360 to smile about it.

00:44:40.520 One ex-user said

00:44:41.720 it's a recession indicator

00:44:43.080 and another said,

00:44:44.380 this just gives me

00:44:44.940 another reason

00:44:45.480 to shop elsewhere.

00:44:48.380 And then someone else

00:44:49.300 said it was disturbing.

00:44:50.040 So this is what people

00:44:51.300 are upset about.

00:44:51.700 So the disturbing demand

00:44:53.020 is that the employees

00:44:54.780 must be nice

00:44:57.080 to the customers.

00:44:59.220 That's the disturbing demand.

00:45:00.540 The disturbing demand

00:45:01.440 is that they smile

00:45:02.740 and say hi

00:45:04.440 to the customers

00:45:05.640 who come in the door.

00:45:06.760 So disturbing.

00:45:09.260 I mean,

00:45:09.520 that is,

00:45:09.820 that is disturbing.

00:45:10.800 So you,

00:45:11.340 you mean

00:45:12.540 if I'm an employee

00:45:14.640 of Target,

00:45:15.460 you want me to do

00:45:16.420 the bare minimum

00:45:17.240 of my job?

00:45:18.540 you want me to do

00:45:19.480 the absolute

00:45:20.120 bare minimum?

00:45:22.600 You want me to do

00:45:23.560 the,

00:45:24.260 it's like

00:45:24.700 not even doing anything.

00:45:26.140 You just want,

00:45:26.800 you want

00:45:27.220 the smallest

00:45:28.500 possible effort

00:45:29.540 from me?

00:45:32.260 You mean,

00:45:32.940 you want me

00:45:33.760 to refrain

00:45:34.760 from making

00:45:36.260 the customers

00:45:37.080 feel actively

00:45:38.240 unwelcome

00:45:39.040 when they walk

00:45:40.280 into the store?

00:45:41.220 That's what you want?

00:45:42.040 Oh,

00:45:42.260 that's disturbing.

00:45:43.000 I'm disturbed

00:45:45.000 by that.

00:45:47.780 Bare minimum?

00:45:50.380 That's so disturbing.

00:45:52.420 No one's ever

00:45:53.160 asked me

00:45:53.560 to do anything

00:45:54.160 at all before.

00:45:55.260 You're saying

00:45:55.800 that there's like

00:45:56.300 the slightest

00:45:56.900 obligation at all

00:45:58.140 that comes with

00:45:58.640 this job?

00:46:00.600 So disturbing.

00:46:04.680 You know,

00:46:06.520 to state the obvious,

00:46:07.440 this should already

00:46:08.060 be the policy.

00:46:09.940 It used to be

00:46:10.900 back when I worked

00:46:11.680 customer service jobs

00:46:12.660 20 years ago

00:46:13.280 or so ago.

00:46:14.540 The policy everywhere

00:46:15.860 was that you had

00:46:16.940 to greet customers

00:46:17.800 and ask them

00:46:18.580 if they need

00:46:20.240 any help.

00:46:22.060 And if you didn't

00:46:23.020 do that

00:46:23.560 or if you didn't

00:46:24.340 smile,

00:46:25.180 and as you can

00:46:26.400 imagine,

00:46:27.320 for me,

00:46:28.580 this was,

00:46:29.920 I didn't take

00:46:31.020 to this

00:46:31.440 very well,

00:46:33.340 but you were

00:46:34.680 corrected

00:46:35.080 because this was

00:46:36.460 the job.

00:46:38.880 And now I go

00:46:39.780 into these places,

00:46:40.440 I walk around

00:46:41.160 and

00:46:41.820 any of these

00:46:44.540 retail places

00:46:45.420 not greeted

00:46:47.360 by any

00:46:47.840 employees.

00:46:49.440 Nobody asks

00:46:50.240 if you need

00:46:50.600 help finding

00:46:51.040 anything.

00:46:53.360 Right?

00:46:53.900 Like,

00:46:54.140 you could go

00:46:55.060 into the average

00:46:55.840 Target,

00:46:56.540 Walmart,

00:46:56.920 any place,

00:46:57.300 and you could

00:46:58.300 walk around

00:46:58.800 for like an

00:46:59.180 hour,

00:46:59.700 and there

00:47:00.740 will be no

00:47:01.520 communication

00:47:03.440 or acknowledgement

00:47:04.100 from any

00:47:04.760 employee at all.

00:47:06.580 Except maybe

00:47:07.220 they sneer at you

00:47:07.980 like they don't

00:47:08.400 even want you

00:47:08.860 there.

00:47:09.480 Now,

00:47:10.160 there are

00:47:10.520 caveats.

00:47:11.280 First of all,

00:47:11.940 I know when I

00:47:12.640 say this,

00:47:13.060 you might say,

00:47:13.560 well,

00:47:14.580 you know,

00:47:15.280 you're Matt

00:47:15.720 Walsh,

00:47:16.220 and they're

00:47:17.000 not nice to

00:47:17.700 you because

00:47:18.200 you're Matt

00:47:18.820 Walsh and

00:47:19.160 they hate

00:47:19.480 you.

00:47:20.360 Fair enough.

00:47:21.300 That might be

00:47:21.760 the case

00:47:22.040 sometimes,

00:47:22.400 but I think

00:47:22.960 this is the

00:47:23.340 general experience

00:47:24.200 of everyone,

00:47:25.460 even the people

00:47:26.260 who are not

00:47:26.720 Matt Walsh,

00:47:27.280 which is,

00:47:27.780 frankly,

00:47:28.080 most people.

00:47:29.420 Most people on

00:47:30.120 Earth actually

00:47:30.660 are not Matt

00:47:31.860 Walsh.

00:47:32.200 So I think this

00:47:33.540 is like a general

00:47:34.100 experience.

00:47:34.540 I think most people

00:47:35.100 have experienced this.

00:47:36.060 We've talked about

00:47:36.560 before the decline

00:47:37.420 of customer service.

00:47:39.160 It's a very real

00:47:40.020 thing.

00:47:40.520 Everyone has

00:47:41.380 noticed it.

00:47:43.120 Customer service

00:47:43.960 is awful almost

00:47:45.420 everywhere except

00:47:46.280 for Chick-fil-A,

00:47:47.740 anywhere outside of

00:47:48.860 that,

00:47:49.080 and even some of

00:47:49.580 the Chick-fil-A's

00:47:50.140 now,

00:47:50.340 I got to say,

00:47:51.260 it's even there,

00:47:52.740 even there,

00:47:53.360 they're like

00:47:53.800 teetering a bit.

00:47:54.980 But everywhere else

00:47:55.800 you go,

00:47:56.560 the customer service

00:47:57.280 is god-awful.

00:47:59.380 It's not just that

00:48:00.380 there's no service,

00:48:01.340 it's that they

00:48:01.720 actually make you

00:48:02.620 feel bad for being

00:48:03.240 there.

00:48:03.580 You feel guilty

00:48:04.620 for even walking

00:48:05.860 in the door.

00:48:08.820 I will also

00:48:10.980 admit that

00:48:11.560 if I was

00:48:13.440 walking around

00:48:13.980 the store

00:48:14.420 and I did

00:48:15.420 need help

00:48:16.320 finding something,

00:48:17.100 which I often

00:48:17.700 do,

00:48:19.140 and someone

00:48:19.660 did ask me,

00:48:20.580 I would still

00:48:21.160 say,

00:48:21.640 no,

00:48:21.940 I'm good,

00:48:22.900 and then I

00:48:23.360 would walk

00:48:23.840 around and

00:48:24.380 wander aimlessly

00:48:25.040 for another

00:48:25.480 45 minutes.

00:48:27.500 But still,

00:48:29.340 I think that

00:48:30.620 this should be

00:48:31.980 standard,

00:48:33.000 and it used

00:48:33.380 to be.

00:48:34.580 And now it's

00:48:35.100 considered a

00:48:35.820 burden,

00:48:37.440 disturbing.

00:48:39.420 So there is

00:48:40.620 certainly a

00:48:41.400 major decline

00:48:42.060 in the quality

00:48:42.660 of work that's

00:48:43.500 done in this

00:48:43.940 country,

00:48:44.220 and you can

00:48:45.000 see it even

00:48:45.520 in these

00:48:45.840 low-level

00:48:46.320 customer service

00:48:48.060 jobs,

00:48:48.320 especially in

00:48:48.900 those jobs.

00:48:49.900 You see it

00:48:50.580 everywhere.

00:48:52.860 We've had

00:48:53.500 occasion to

00:48:54.120 hire contractors

00:48:54.940 many times over

00:48:55.860 the past few

00:48:56.340 years for

00:48:56.700 different projects,

00:48:57.760 and we found

00:48:58.520 some good ones,

00:48:59.120 but also a lot

00:48:59.780 of just shockingly

00:49:00.860 bad and shoddy

00:49:02.620 work.

00:49:02.920 So it's all

00:49:03.560 over the

00:49:03.840 place.

00:49:04.880 So to bring

00:49:05.620 it back to

00:49:05.940 what we

00:49:06.100 talked about

00:49:06.380 yesterday,

00:49:06.700 when Trump

00:49:07.060 talks about

00:49:07.500 the fact that

00:49:08.240 we don't have

00:49:08.920 all of the

00:49:09.540 kind of talented

00:49:10.220 skilled people

00:49:10.820 we need,

00:49:12.260 what he's

00:49:13.440 pointing to

00:49:13.980 is not entirely

00:49:14.720 wrong,

00:49:15.580 and we all

00:49:16.640 know that.

00:49:17.040 We all talk

00:49:17.760 about that.

00:49:19.420 Just when you

00:49:20.100 go around in

00:49:21.180 the country,

00:49:21.640 it feels like

00:49:22.260 the work being

00:49:23.060 done is really

00:49:24.240 bad a lot of

00:49:25.000 the times.

00:49:25.720 So we all

00:49:26.580 notice that.

00:49:28.440 There's been a

00:49:29.140 collapse of

00:49:29.740 standards in this

00:49:30.880 country.

00:49:31.260 There's no doubt

00:49:31.840 about it.

00:49:33.760 And it's

00:49:35.280 so bad now

00:49:35.920 that when you

00:49:36.280 hire someone

00:49:36.760 to work

00:49:37.040 customer service

00:49:37.860 and you

00:49:38.500 expect them

00:49:39.020 to smile,

00:49:39.620 it's considered

00:49:40.220 some kind of

00:49:40.840 onerous demand

00:49:42.100 upon them.

00:49:43.480 But where

00:49:44.020 Trump is wrong

00:49:44.680 is in the

00:49:45.100 prescription.

00:49:46.080 So we're not

00:49:46.700 going to solve

00:49:47.160 the problem

00:49:47.580 by bringing

00:49:48.040 in foreigners

00:49:48.600 with H-1Bs.

00:49:49.900 We're not

00:49:50.340 going to solve

00:49:50.700 the problem

00:49:51.080 with mass

00:49:51.440 migration.

00:49:51.980 We're not

00:49:52.100 going to solve

00:49:52.400 the problem

00:49:52.740 with illegal

00:49:53.180 immigration.

00:49:54.040 In fact,

00:49:54.280 that's part

00:49:54.560 of what's

00:49:54.780 causing the

00:49:55.160 problem with

00:49:55.820 the collapse

00:49:56.180 of standards,

00:49:56.880 particularly

00:49:57.140 when it

00:49:57.340 comes to

00:49:57.580 contractors and

00:49:58.860 that sort

00:49:59.120 of thing.

00:50:01.500 No, you

00:50:01.980 need to

00:50:02.220 train up

00:50:02.660 our own

00:50:02.980 people.

00:50:03.260 As I said,

00:50:04.020 raise the

00:50:04.480 standards in

00:50:05.340 this country

00:50:05.840 among our

00:50:06.760 own people

00:50:07.240 and for

00:50:09.480 our own

00:50:09.820 people.

00:50:11.820 That's how you

00:50:12.640 solve it.

00:50:13.040 You don't

00:50:13.280 solve it by

00:50:14.000 bringing in

00:50:15.540 cheap labor

00:50:17.720 that's oftentimes

00:50:18.580 even worse

00:50:19.400 in every

00:50:19.720 respect than

00:50:21.260 what we

00:50:21.500 already have

00:50:21.860 here.

00:50:23.400 All right,

00:50:24.200 let's get to

00:50:25.360 the comment

00:50:25.760 section.

00:50:26.060 If you're a

00:50:26.880 man, it's

00:50:27.540 required that

00:50:28.400 you grow a

00:50:29.060 beard.

00:50:31.300 We're the

00:50:31.940 sweet baby

00:50:32.520 gang.

00:50:35.440 You guys

00:50:36.120 have heard me

00:50:36.420 talk about

00:50:37.020 the bearskin

00:50:37.980 hoodie.

00:50:38.520 Well, the

00:50:38.980 smart people

00:50:39.600 are locking

00:50:40.260 in their

00:50:40.780 winter gear

00:50:41.460 now because

00:50:42.180 this is hands

00:50:42.860 down the

00:50:43.540 best time to

00:50:44.280 prep for the

00:50:44.840 coming winter.

00:50:45.520 Don't wait

00:50:46.040 any longer

00:50:46.780 than you

00:50:46.980 already have.

00:50:47.580 Bearskin is

00:50:48.060 running a

00:50:48.420 6% off

00:50:49.040 deal right

00:50:49.440 now, but

00:50:49.880 only if you

00:50:50.480 get your

00:50:51.260 hoodie early.

00:50:52.680 This hoodie,

00:50:53.560 which I am

00:50:55.420 wearing right

00:50:55.900 now, in fact,

00:50:56.840 is built like

00:50:57.680 a tank.

00:50:58.080 Micro fleece,

00:50:58.900 10 pockets

00:50:59.520 with a clean

00:51:00.320 rugged fit

00:51:01.040 that looks

00:51:02.620 awesome.

00:51:03.080 I think it

00:51:03.280 looks great,

00:51:04.920 which is hard

00:51:05.600 to do.

00:51:06.420 It's hard to

00:51:06.980 make something

00:51:07.280 look good on

00:51:07.680 me, but

00:51:07.940 somehow they

00:51:08.420 pull it off.

00:51:09.800 Also, it's

00:51:10.700 very comfortable

00:51:11.200 and it's got

00:51:12.540 utility.

00:51:14.300 It's practical

00:51:15.180 as well, so

00:51:15.840 it combines all

00:51:16.680 the things

00:51:16.940 you want,

00:51:17.320 style,

00:51:17.720 practicality,

00:51:18.960 and comfort.

00:51:19.500 Plus, it

00:51:19.820 zips right

00:51:20.480 into the

00:51:21.020 heavy storm

00:51:21.600 rain jack

00:51:22.100 to become

00:51:22.500 100%

00:51:23.000 waterproof when

00:51:24.240 you need

00:51:24.540 it.

00:51:25.600 Now, as you

00:51:25.900 can see, I'm

00:51:26.480 wearing my

00:51:27.480 bearskin hoodie

00:51:27.960 right now.

00:51:29.760 If you want

00:51:30.560 to get your

00:51:30.960 own bearskin

00:51:31.500 hoodie, if

00:51:32.080 you're inspired

00:51:32.920 by how

00:51:34.280 dashingly

00:51:35.000 handsome I

00:51:35.600 look in

00:53:03.540 November 19th.

00:53:04.720 That's 7 p.m.

00:53:05.700 Eastern.

00:53:07.160 Okay, a few

00:53:07.580 comments as we

00:53:08.980 do our comment

00:53:10.920 section on a

00:53:11.500 Thursday.

00:53:13.640 As per tradition,

00:53:14.740 very new

00:53:15.080 tradition.

00:53:16.700 Mark Quindos

00:53:18.260 says,

00:53:19.180 Matt, as far

00:53:19.820 as the 50-year

00:53:20.320 mortgage options

00:53:21.040 is concerned,

00:53:22.740 here are my

00:53:23.220 counterpoints.

00:53:23.800 One, you're

00:53:25.320 using a

00:53:25.660 hypothetical home

00:53:26.420 buyer who can't

00:53:27.040 afford the house

00:53:27.640 and will default

00:53:28.220 on their payment.

00:53:29.960 That's true,

00:53:30.760 even with a

00:53:31.240 30-year mortgage.

00:53:31.860 The difference

00:53:32.280 is a higher

00:53:32.920 monthly payment

00:53:33.500 makes the

00:53:33.980 buyer more

00:53:34.520 likely to

00:53:34.920 default than

00:53:35.520 a lower

00:53:35.780 monthly payment.

00:53:37.440 Two, the

00:53:37.960 equity will be

00:53:38.360 lower after the

00:53:39.080 same number of

00:53:39.540 payments initially.

00:53:40.260 That's true.

00:53:41.240 But people who

00:53:41.700 rent and never

00:53:42.380 own have an

00:53:43.180 equity of

00:53:43.960 $0 after any

00:53:45.260 number of

00:53:45.640 years.

00:53:46.420 Three, the

00:53:46.780 50-year mortgage

00:53:47.320 is an option.

00:53:48.080 It's not

00:53:48.280 mandatory.

00:53:48.720 People can

00:53:48.980 choose.

00:53:49.640 Four, buyers

00:53:50.140 need to be

00:53:50.460 responsible.

00:53:51.060 If you buy a

00:53:51.700 home, you need

00:53:52.240 to be responsible

00:53:52.860 and make the

00:53:53.260 payments.

00:53:53.840 If you can't

00:53:54.260 afford and default

00:53:54.800 on it, that

00:53:55.280 would have also

00:53:56.120 happened on a

00:53:56.700 30-year mortgage.

00:53:59.000 Okay, I don't

00:53:59.500 really object to

00:54:01.860 but to me, if

00:54:02.980 anything, you've

00:54:03.480 just made an

00:54:03.900 argument against

00:54:04.740 30-year mortgages,

00:54:05.820 not in favor of

00:54:06.680 50-year mortgages.

00:54:07.600 And I'm not

00:54:07.980 saying we should

00:54:08.400 get rid of

00:54:08.740 30-year mortgages.

00:54:09.460 I'm just saying

00:54:10.000 that those are

00:54:11.400 all problems that

00:54:13.280 you find with

00:54:13.900 30-year mortgages.

00:54:14.680 You're correct.

00:54:15.220 And I don't

00:54:15.620 think that we

00:54:15.980 solve that

00:54:16.360 problem by

00:54:17.100 making it

00:54:17.500 worse.

00:54:17.720 I don't think

00:54:18.100 that we solve

00:54:19.520 that problem by

00:54:20.580 doing something

00:54:23.120 that's going to

00:54:23.540 have all those

00:54:24.060 problems but to a

00:54:25.160 much worse

00:54:26.380 degree.

00:54:27.620 And as far as

00:54:28.220 it being an

00:54:28.620 option not

00:54:29.100 mandatory, well,

00:54:30.080 sure, of

00:54:30.540 course, but when

00:54:31.560 you give

00:54:32.020 homebuyers an

00:54:33.140 option that

00:54:34.880 allows them to

00:54:35.540 buy more

00:54:36.220 house than they

00:54:37.000 can actually

00:54:37.580 afford, a huge

00:54:39.220 number of them

00:54:39.840 will take that

00:54:40.580 option, as we

00:54:41.300 have seen.

00:54:42.980 We've already

00:54:43.600 seen this movie

00:54:44.460 and it doesn't

00:54:45.900 end well.

00:54:46.500 so that's how I

00:54:52.980 would flip it

00:54:53.360 around.

00:54:54.620 What problems

00:54:55.600 do you have

00:54:56.120 with a 30-year

00:54:56.840 mortgage that

00:54:57.560 would be solved

00:54:58.460 or addressed

00:54:59.260 by offering a

00:55:01.140 50-year?

00:55:02.780 Like, what

00:55:03.320 problems are

00:55:04.020 there with the

00:55:04.520 current system

00:55:05.240 that would be

00:55:06.660 made better by

00:55:08.380 offering a 50-year

00:55:09.580 mortgage?

00:55:10.420 And kind of as

00:55:11.580 you just laid

00:55:12.060 out, I don't

00:55:12.520 think that there

00:55:13.100 are any.

00:55:13.400 Joshua says,

00:55:16.780 this America

00:55:17.300 only stance by

00:55:18.600 Matt, how does

00:55:19.340 that not entirely

00:55:20.080 dissolve his

00:55:20.680 advocacy for the

00:55:21.480 persecuted white

00:55:22.180 farmers in South

00:55:22.940 Africa and our

00:55:23.880 Christians in

00:55:24.740 Nigeria?

00:55:25.780 They're not

00:55:26.200 Americans, so I'm

00:55:27.080 confused, or Matt

00:55:27.960 Wall should really

00:55:28.480 go back to the

00:55:29.080 drawing board as

00:55:30.320 for these both

00:55:31.780 held ideas can be

00:55:32.640 compatible with

00:55:33.280 each other or

00:55:34.280 reform or drop

00:55:35.500 one of these

00:55:35.960 premises and

00:55:37.460 goals.

00:55:38.460 Again, fair

00:55:39.000 point, but

00:55:40.860 here's what I'll

00:55:41.540 say, and I

00:55:42.920 look at this,

00:55:43.800 especially the

00:55:44.360 white farmers

00:55:45.000 issue, so let's

00:55:45.940 take that, the

00:55:46.460 refugees that I

00:55:47.920 was in favor of

00:55:48.660 taking in the

00:55:49.100 white farmers, we

00:55:49.660 talked about that.

00:55:51.900 However, I also

00:55:52.940 say America

00:55:53.520 first, America

00:55:54.540 only, American

00:55:56.020 chauvinist,

00:55:57.020 unapologetically.

00:55:59.480 So how do I

00:56:00.560 square that circle?

00:56:02.260 Well, I look at

00:56:02.920 it just as I look

00:56:03.860 at hate crime

00:56:04.580 laws.

00:56:05.260 To me, it's

00:56:06.020 similar.

00:56:07.540 I don't think

00:56:08.420 that hate crime

00:56:08.920 laws should exist,

00:56:10.340 but they do.

00:56:12.080 And since they

00:56:12.700 do, I think they

00:56:13.720 should be applied

00:56:14.340 equally, which

00:56:16.020 means that if a

00:56:16.860 white guy is

00:56:17.700 assaulted or

00:56:19.420 killed by a

00:56:20.140 black guy, there

00:56:20.840 should be a hate

00:56:21.400 crime investigation,

00:56:22.320 and very often

00:56:22.800 there should be a

00:56:23.320 hate crime charge

00:56:24.640 and conviction,

00:56:25.820 even though I

00:56:28.780 don't think the

00:56:29.240 hate crime category

00:56:29.940 should exist.

00:56:30.720 So you could

00:56:31.000 accuse me of

00:56:31.520 hypocrisy.

00:56:32.040 I'm saying on

00:56:32.780 one breath I

00:56:33.300 say hate crime

00:56:33.740 category should

00:56:34.340 exist, the

00:56:35.180 next breath,

00:56:36.020 an incident

00:56:36.680 like this

00:56:37.080 happens, say

00:56:37.660 what happened

00:56:37.980 in Cincinnati,

00:56:38.660 many examples,

00:56:39.700 and I'll say

00:56:40.720 there should be

00:56:41.140 hate crime

00:56:41.460 charges.

00:56:41.940 Is that

00:56:42.220 hypocrisy?

00:56:43.580 No.

00:56:46.120 Because my

00:56:46.840 argument is we

00:56:48.040 should get rid

00:56:48.660 of this, but

00:56:49.720 we haven't.

00:56:50.640 It exists, and

00:56:52.100 as long as it

00:56:52.780 does, right, as

00:56:54.660 long as this law

00:56:55.560 exists, there

00:56:56.480 needs to be

00:56:56.980 equality under

00:56:58.220 it.

00:57:00.240 So I'd rather

00:57:00.900 get rid of the

00:57:01.460 law, but while

00:57:02.540 it's there, there

00:57:03.720 needs to be

00:57:04.120 equality under

00:57:05.080 that law.

00:57:06.820 So the fact

00:57:07.600 that I'm

00:57:07.860 critical of

00:57:08.560 the system

00:57:09.080 entirely does

00:57:09.820 not mean that

00:57:10.300 I have to

00:57:10.980 tolerate or

00:57:13.360 accept the

00:57:15.620 unfairness and

00:57:19.360 injustice within

00:57:20.440 that system.

00:57:22.120 So with the

00:57:22.920 white South

00:57:23.300 Africans, you

00:57:24.040 know, this

00:57:24.300 country takes

00:57:24.960 in millions of

00:57:25.640 refugees and

00:57:26.200 asylum seekers all

00:57:27.180 the time.

00:57:27.520 We've been doing

00:57:28.100 this for many

00:57:29.840 years, and since

00:57:30.420 we do that,

00:57:32.280 yes, absolutely,

00:57:33.240 these white

00:57:33.680 victims of

00:57:34.180 persecution should

00:57:34.980 be brought in.

00:57:36.800 And not only

00:57:37.440 should they be

00:57:37.820 brought in, since

00:57:38.500 we have this

00:57:38.960 system, that they

00:57:39.760 should be at the

00:57:40.200 front of the

00:57:40.520 line.

00:57:43.460 Because, we

00:57:44.400 remember, we

00:57:44.840 played the footage.

00:57:45.500 When they came

00:57:45.900 in, they were

00:57:46.480 waving their

00:57:46.960 American flags.

00:57:48.700 They were happy

00:57:49.600 and grateful to

00:57:50.520 be here.

00:57:51.780 They wanted to

00:57:52.720 fit in and

00:57:53.400 assimilate with

00:57:54.080 our culture.

00:57:54.980 And you

00:57:55.580 usually don't

00:57:56.180 have that with

00:57:56.920 these refugees and

00:57:58.420 quote-unquote

00:57:58.760 asylum seekers.

00:58:00.700 And because you

00:58:01.460 had that with

00:58:01.780 them, not only

00:58:02.520 should we let

00:58:02.820 them in, but

00:58:03.060 they should be

00:58:03.340 at the front of

00:58:03.640 the line.

00:58:04.520 Now, if we

00:58:05.000 suddenly woke up

00:58:05.760 in some kind of

00:58:06.260 bizarro world where

00:58:08.140 we've closed the

00:58:08.920 door and we're

00:58:10.600 not accepting any

00:58:11.520 refugees or

00:58:12.220 asylum seekers

00:58:12.840 anymore, then

00:58:13.700 okay.

00:58:15.280 I mean, would I

00:58:15.800 say in that case

00:58:16.460 that the South

00:58:17.640 Africans should be

00:58:18.380 an exception?

00:58:19.020 Probably not.

00:58:21.900 But as long as

00:58:22.720 this is the

00:58:23.280 policy, as long

00:58:24.080 as we have the

00:58:24.640 gate open, then

00:58:26.840 they should be

00:58:27.280 allowed in.

00:58:27.700 So that's kind

00:58:28.240 of how I look

00:58:29.600 at it.

00:58:31.240 Last one.

00:58:34.660 Says, new

00:58:35.320 technology creates

00:58:36.160 new opportunities.

00:58:37.120 Matt was the

00:58:37.600 guy 100 years

00:58:38.460 ago trying to

00:58:39.240 ban cars.

00:58:41.280 Well, I've

00:58:41.860 addressed this

00:58:42.340 argument for AI

00:58:43.160 so many times, I

00:58:44.100 think.

00:58:45.500 And it's not,

00:58:47.240 but every time we

00:58:48.080 talk about AI, this

00:58:49.360 comes up because

00:58:50.960 this is really

00:58:52.040 the, seems to

00:58:52.980 be one of the

00:58:55.300 only arguments in

00:58:57.220 favor of it.

00:58:58.240 But one of the

00:58:58.700 only arguments

00:58:59.220 against regulating

00:59:00.640 and passing laws

00:59:01.560 to contain this

00:59:03.040 thing as best we

00:59:04.780 can, one of the

00:59:06.120 only arguments

00:59:06.540 against it is

00:59:07.340 exactly this.

00:59:10.520 But it's not

00:59:11.240 really an argument.

00:59:12.600 It's just an

00:59:13.560 assertion, basically,

00:59:15.180 that every

00:59:15.800 technological

00:59:16.500 advancement is the

00:59:17.680 same.

00:59:18.480 And if one turned

00:59:19.500 out to be okay,

00:59:20.560 then they all

00:59:21.300 will.

00:59:23.260 But that's not

00:59:24.200 the case.

00:59:24.540 And by the

00:59:25.680 way, I always

00:59:26.700 feel necessary to

00:59:28.440 point out when

00:59:30.220 people do this

00:59:30.780 thing, oh, so

00:59:31.940 you're against AI.

00:59:32.860 Well, you would

00:59:33.160 have said the

00:59:33.440 same thing about

00:59:33.920 automobiles 100

00:59:34.880 years ago.

00:59:36.540 Well, again, these

00:59:37.400 are two different

00:59:37.760 things.

00:59:38.400 They're not the

00:59:39.080 same.

00:59:40.020 So just because you

00:59:41.020 object to one

00:59:41.820 doesn't mean that

00:59:42.580 you would have to

00:59:43.180 object to the

00:59:43.680 other.

00:59:44.400 Not all technology

00:59:45.740 is the same.

00:59:47.360 Some technological

00:59:48.120 advancements are

00:59:48.880 very good.

00:59:50.580 Some are bad,

00:59:51.640 though.

00:59:52.040 I mean, there

00:59:52.420 can be technological

00:59:53.420 advancements that

00:59:54.240 are bad.

00:59:55.580 I think that AI is

00:59:57.140 bad for the most

00:59:58.220 part in most

00:59:58.980 applications.

01:00:02.440 And I do think

01:00:03.320 that there are

01:00:03.680 people who their

01:00:04.860 view is that

01:00:06.180 basically a

01:00:08.420 technological

01:00:08.860 advancement can

01:00:09.680 never be bad.

01:00:10.960 The simple fact

01:00:12.180 that it is an

01:00:12.840 advancement makes

01:00:13.580 it good.

01:00:14.020 I mean, that's the

01:00:14.480 view that a lot of

01:00:15.020 people really do

01:00:15.900 have, and I find

01:00:16.580 that to be absurd.

01:00:17.460 But anyway, when

01:00:19.900 you bring up cars,

01:00:20.680 look,

01:00:21.640 since you brought

01:00:23.400 it up, many of

01:00:25.120 the dire warnings

01:00:26.140 about automobiles

01:00:27.540 turned out to be

01:00:29.000 true.

01:00:30.820 Now, that doesn't

01:00:31.780 mean that we

01:00:32.240 shouldn't have

01:00:32.720 cars.

01:00:33.440 I'm not saying

01:00:34.260 cars are a net

01:00:35.280 negative.

01:00:36.240 I don't think they

01:00:37.320 are.

01:00:37.660 I'm just saying

01:00:38.280 that if you look

01:00:38.820 back through

01:00:39.260 history and you

01:00:39.980 just laugh off

01:00:41.100 all of the

01:00:42.440 critiques lobbed

01:00:43.460 against new

01:00:43.940 technology through

01:00:44.780 history, then

01:00:45.700 you're totally

01:00:46.160 missing the point.

01:00:47.300 You're completely

01:00:47.940 missing the

01:00:48.420 opportunity to

01:00:49.020 learn something.

01:00:49.760 Okay, that

01:00:51.680 should not be

01:00:52.020 the lesson you

01:00:52.540 take from it.

01:00:53.080 If you look at

01:00:53.480 a technology that's

01:00:55.280 not new to us

01:00:55.860 anymore, but it

01:00:56.500 was at some

01:00:56.980 point, as all

01:00:57.400 technology was, and

01:00:59.760 you go back and

01:01:00.320 look at, okay,

01:01:00.920 what were, you

01:01:01.620 know, back when

01:01:02.080 there was a

01:01:02.440 debate about this

01:01:03.500 technology, that's

01:01:04.800 interesting to do.

01:01:05.520 I mean, any

01:01:05.900 technology that is

01:01:06.800 normal to us

01:01:07.400 now, at some

01:01:08.440 point it was

01:01:08.960 new, and when

01:01:09.960 it was new, there

01:01:11.580 would have been a

01:01:12.020 debate about it.

01:01:12.720 There would have

01:01:13.000 been people who

01:01:13.840 said, no, this is

01:01:14.920 bad, we shouldn't

01:01:15.580 do this.

01:01:16.740 And it can be

01:01:17.400 very instructive

01:01:18.160 to go back and

01:01:18.820 look at that, look

01:01:19.520 at those arguments.

01:01:20.860 But I think people

01:01:21.600 like you, the

01:01:21.940 person who left

01:01:22.440 the comment, you

01:01:23.600 just, it's like

01:01:25.580 you're totally

01:01:26.420 thoughtless, you're

01:01:27.260 not putting any

01:01:27.760 thought into it.

01:01:30.280 You're just

01:01:30.800 assuming that, well,

01:01:31.680 that turned out

01:01:32.160 okay, so whatever

01:01:32.980 they argue, they

01:01:33.620 must have been a

01:01:34.040 bunch of morons.

01:01:36.680 No, about

01:01:37.320 automobiles, people,

01:01:39.100 what were the

01:01:39.540 arguments against

01:01:40.100 automobiles, if you

01:01:40.980 go back a

01:01:42.400 century?

01:01:44.120 Well, there were

01:01:44.620 two big ones.

01:01:46.040 The first is

01:01:47.580 that a lot of

01:01:48.800 people warned that

01:01:49.880 there would, people

01:01:51.440 would die, that

01:01:52.040 there would be a

01:01:52.400 lot of accidents.

01:01:54.160 You know, as we

01:01:54.780 move to these

01:01:55.400 mechanical, these

01:01:58.380 machines, instead

01:02:00.100 of, you know, horse

01:02:00.780 and bugging on it,

01:02:01.300 there'd be a lot

01:02:01.680 more accidents, a

01:02:02.400 lot more people

01:02:02.940 would die.

01:02:03.620 That was true.

01:02:05.720 Millions have

01:02:06.280 died.

01:02:08.000 The cost of having

01:02:09.180 automobiles is that

01:02:10.280 millions of people

01:02:11.520 have died.

01:02:13.260 What's the total

01:02:13.980 number of people

01:02:14.380 who have died in

01:02:14.820 car accidents

01:02:15.340 globally since

01:02:16.060 the car was

01:02:16.560 invented?

01:02:16.960 I don't know.

01:02:18.040 Many, many, many

01:02:19.360 millions have

01:02:20.460 died.

01:02:21.920 And, um, so

01:02:24.300 that turned out

01:02:24.720 to be true.

01:02:26.500 And also, there

01:02:27.200 were people who

01:02:27.620 warned that cars

01:02:28.740 would lead, I

01:02:29.240 think people that

01:02:29.640 were even more

01:02:30.180 insightful and more

01:02:31.620 prescient in their

01:02:32.200 thinking, they said

01:02:34.380 that cars would lead

01:02:35.220 to the decline of

01:02:36.060 local communities and

01:02:37.320 even the family

01:02:38.960 because people would

01:02:40.200 move farther and

01:02:40.880 farther away from

01:02:41.540 each other because

01:02:42.600 they'd have the

01:02:42.980 ability to do so.

01:02:45.120 Turns out that was

01:02:45.860 true too.

01:02:47.480 Now, is it worth

01:02:48.660 the benefit?

01:02:49.660 Even with those,

01:02:50.640 those are big costs

01:02:51.540 actually of the

01:02:52.280 automobile.

01:02:52.960 Is it, was it

01:02:53.860 worth the benefit?

01:02:54.660 I would say that it

01:02:55.620 is.

01:02:57.660 And anyway, it's a

01:02:58.560 moot point now.

01:02:59.180 I mean, we're not

01:02:59.640 going to get rid of

01:03:00.080 cars.

01:03:00.580 Cars are here.

01:03:01.840 So it's an

01:03:02.500 interesting academic

01:03:03.220 discussion, but you

01:03:04.260 can't, it's, they're

01:03:05.000 here now and there's

01:03:05.640 nothing you can do

01:03:06.060 about it.

01:03:07.220 Um, AI is different

01:03:09.100 though, right?

01:03:10.920 AI is very new.

01:03:12.980 It is already here, but

01:03:14.640 it's new and it's

01:03:15.400 developing for the

01:03:16.720 very, very, we're in

01:03:17.480 the infancy of this

01:03:18.600 thing.

01:03:20.200 And so it's not all a

01:03:21.840 foregone conclusion.

01:03:24.240 AI just like taking

01:03:25.560 over the world is not

01:03:27.700 a foregone conclusion.

01:03:28.840 It hasn't happened

01:03:29.460 yet.

01:03:30.540 It will happen.

01:03:32.360 And what I'm arguing

01:03:33.160 is that that will be

01:03:33.980 very bad for people.

01:03:37.160 I think it'll be

01:03:38.140 destructive to human

01:03:39.540 life on a, on a

01:03:40.980 scale that we can,

01:03:41.800 can't even fathom.

01:03:43.200 That's really what I

01:03:43.960 believe.

01:03:45.140 And, um, so we can

01:03:47.560 put things in place

01:03:48.380 right now to try to

01:03:49.140 control, contain,

01:03:50.160 regulate this thing.

01:03:52.560 And we should at

01:03:53.540 least try.

01:03:56.280 So that's the, so

01:03:59.020 that, that's one big

01:03:59.820 difference between

01:04:00.660 looking at cars and

01:04:02.240 looking at AI.

01:04:03.340 One of the big

01:04:03.940 differences now is

01:04:04.940 that, okay, the time

01:04:07.240 to have the debate

01:04:07.740 about automobiles was

01:04:08.400 a hundred years ago.

01:04:09.440 We're way past that.

01:04:10.600 And, but we're at

01:04:12.340 that point now for

01:04:12.980 AI.

01:04:13.280 And then the other

01:04:13.840 big difference, as

01:04:17.120 I've explained many

01:04:17.720 times, is that AI, it

01:04:19.940 is just different in

01:04:21.040 kind from any other

01:04:22.680 kind of technology that

01:04:24.240 has ever existed.

01:04:26.040 This really is a

01:04:27.220 different kind of

01:04:28.040 thing.

01:04:28.760 And yes, you could

01:04:29.600 say that, well, they

01:04:30.200 always say that about

01:04:30.940 new technology.

01:04:32.260 Okay.

01:04:32.880 Maybe there are

01:04:33.520 people always saying

01:04:34.260 that I get it.

01:04:35.520 But sometimes the

01:04:36.680 things that people

01:04:37.360 always say turn out

01:04:40.440 to be true.

01:04:41.360 And in this case, yeah,

01:04:42.700 in this case, it's

01:04:43.260 true.

01:04:44.300 In this case, it's

01:04:44.980 true.

01:04:45.600 This thing is

01:04:46.400 different from any

01:04:47.100 other kind of

01:04:47.540 technology.

01:04:48.120 And the reason is

01:04:48.980 that it completely

01:04:50.880 removes the human

01:04:52.940 element.

01:04:54.980 Every, I would argue

01:04:55.720 that every other

01:04:56.560 piece of technology

01:04:57.440 that has ever been

01:04:58.500 invented up to this

01:04:59.560 point has always

01:05:02.020 been a new

01:05:04.100 allegedly improved

01:05:06.360 tool for people

01:05:09.440 to use to, like,

01:05:11.480 increase efficiency

01:05:12.500 and supposedly make

01:05:14.220 their lives easier

01:05:15.040 and better.

01:05:15.580 That's all the new

01:05:16.600 technology up until

01:05:19.060 now, unless we're

01:05:22.040 talking about military

01:05:23.580 technology, which is

01:05:24.380 designed to kill

01:05:25.080 people efficiently.

01:05:27.880 So that was it.

01:05:29.880 But this is not a

01:05:31.020 tool.

01:05:32.520 That's the point.

01:05:33.420 This is like, this is

01:05:36.520 not a new and

01:05:37.460 improved hammer.

01:05:38.560 This is a hammer

01:05:39.620 that will build the

01:05:42.720 entire house.

01:05:43.460 This is a hammer you

01:05:44.120 don't even need to put

01:05:45.360 your hand on.

01:05:46.240 It'll build the whole

01:05:47.040 house, come up with

01:05:47.720 the blueprints.

01:05:48.900 It will come up with

01:05:49.680 the blueprints, design

01:05:50.840 the house, and build

01:05:51.760 it for you.

01:05:54.580 There's literally

01:05:55.420 nothing for you to

01:05:56.340 do.

01:05:57.360 You don't even need to

01:05:58.360 tell it what kind of

01:05:59.040 house you want.

01:05:59.960 It will do

01:06:00.620 everything.

01:06:02.020 So that's AI.

01:06:03.340 Takes the human

01:06:04.080 being out of it

01:06:04.720 completely.

01:06:07.400 And I would argue

01:06:08.920 that taking human

01:06:10.500 beings out of

01:06:11.560 everything at this

01:06:13.840 scale and this

01:06:15.240 quickly is a

01:06:16.940 disaster on so

01:06:18.800 many levels.

01:06:19.280 So, and that's a

01:06:24.960 conversation that we

01:06:25.640 need to really start

01:06:26.280 having.

01:06:28.200 You know, it can't

01:06:28.860 just be me and like

01:06:29.520 five other people.

01:06:30.220 It's got to be, we

01:06:30.720 got to really start

01:06:31.760 having this conversation.

01:06:33.600 But that's the end of

01:06:34.740 the conversation for

01:06:35.600 today.

01:06:36.060 That'll do it for the

01:06:36.920 show today and this

01:06:38.260 week.
